In 1641, Mount Parker (also known as Melibengoy) in the Philippines erupted catastrophically on Mindanao island, creating a large caldera lake and causing significant loss of life among local communities. Ashfall and lahars impacted surrounding areas, marking a major event in Philippine volcanic history.

The Parker eruption features in Philippine folklore and later literary works, symbolizing ancestral warnings and the power of the land in indigenous poetry. It has influenced modern Filipino poets addressing environmental stewardship and cultural memory, paralleling global traditions of volcano-inspired mythopoetic verse.
