[Display omitted] •A time-averaged geomagnetic field was derived from volcanic rocks in Luzon.•Rocks between 1 ka to 4.3 Ma consistently registered shallow inclination anomalies.•Inclination anomalies ranged between ~8° to 14° shallower than the GAD model.•The VGP scatter is comparable to other near...
