Why Philippine Volcanoes?
We're named after the 1st Filipino Infantry Regiment that fought under the command of the United States Army. The regiment was made up of Filipino-Americans and a few Filipino veterans who fought in World War II.
The PRFU thought situation was similar to first Philippine National Rugby Team which was made up mostly of foreign expatriates and just a few Filipinos. Of course, these days we're proud to be able to field teams composed of 100% Filipino heritage players, however the name Philippine Volcanoes has stuck.
