Though her peaceful look can be deceiving, she is one of the most peaceful and gorgeous volcanoes in the world at this time. Even the politics of Taal Lake is interesting. Taal Volcano and Taal Lake are completely governed by the Province of Batangas. However, the Northern part of Volcano Island is part of the town of Talisay. The southern half of Volcano Island falls under the jurisdiction of San Nicolas. Now that is a lot of political hoops to jump through. The Philippine government prohibits permanent dwellings on Volcano Island. These rules are ignored by the poor. Like the poor everywhere, they live wherever they can. Many marginal families live and farm on Volcano Island. Warnings are ignored and many of the poor risk their lives daily to farm this rich island.
