Upon the eruption of a volcano, can we also expect the geographically nearby volcanoes to erupt too?

If you do not know yet, the Taal Volcano in Philippines just erupted and it is raining ashes in the entire Luzon. It hasn't erupted since 1977. Based on my basic knowledge of earth sciences and that the Philippines is a product of of oceanic convergence, am I right to expect that all nearby volcanoes in Philippines will erupt too? Isn't volcanic eruption an indication of an very active plate movement?

No, the process of convergence is so slow and gradual that being linked to other volcanoes by the same process doesn't mean other eruptions are more likely on a human timescale. If multiple volcanoes are fed by the same magma chamber, there can be more of a direct link, but that is uncommon.
