Mount Pinukis
inactive volcano in the Philippines
Mount Pinukis is an inactive volcano in Brgy. Lison Valley, Pagadian, Philippines. It is the highest peak of Zamboanga del Sur and the entire Zamboanga Peninsula.
It covers more than 20,000 hectares (49,000 acres), has up to 2015 retained a relatively intact forest cover and is therefore included in the Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs).
Pinukis, the sacred mountain of the Subanen tribe, and a main source for the water system of the three provinces of the Zamboanga peninsula, is under threat from multinational mining companies who wish to engage in open-cast mining.
“Mount Pinukis” enters the record as inactive volcano in the Philippines. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Mount, Pinukis and inactive can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Mount Pinukis” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Mount, Pinukis and inactive provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30621820. Authority coordinates are 7.984, 123.233. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
