The magnificent scene at the popular tourist destination was captured by residents in Tayabas province on July 20 morning.

Danny Villareal Ordonez said he was about to go to work when he noticed the breathtaking scenery that can be scene from the yard of his house.

Timelapse footage shows the fresh 'cap clouds' blanking the mountain top as the slowly move across the landscape like dense white smoke.

He said: "I always look forward to the beautiful clouds around the mountain. I am lucky to live in a wonderful place and call it home."

The mass of clouds on top of the mountain are known as 'cap clouds' or Pileus clouds.
