|  | Date of Climb: September 14, 2003
LOCATION: Batangas Province
ELEVATION: 830 meters above sea level
LEVEL: Minor Climb, Level I, Easy
JUMP-OFF POINT: Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Sto. Tomas Batangas (Sulok)
Manabo Peak is one of the numerous peaks of Mt. Malipuño. Actually, Mt. Malipuño itself is one confusing mountain. Some calls the whole mountain rage as Mt. Malarayat but locals calls them Malipuño. Mountaineers calls Malipuño the main peak or the highest point, the summit. They have christened two of the other peaks as Manabo and Bagwis (Susong Dalaga). There are lots of local trails along the mountain so chances are there are more than three peaks that you can discover in Malipuño but right now, only three peaks are climbed, Malipuño, Manabo and Bagwis. There are however, recorded traverses from Laguna to the Quezon side of the mountain passing by the three peaks. Malipuño and Bagwis is accessible from Barangay Talisay in Lipa Batangas while Manabo is in Barangay Sta. Cruz, Sto. Tomas Batangas. The Malipuño Peaks seen from Manabo Camp Site
Manabo is one easy hiking destination. The place though is not public or a national park. You can actually climb the peak in just two hours. There are grazing cattle and horses even up to the peak itself. The campsite has 360 panoramic view of Makiling, Banahaw, Cristobal, Maculot, Taal, Mindoro, San Pablo City and Lipa City. The peak area is bare with carabao grass making the place beautiful but hot when the sun is up just like Maculot's shoulder. |
