Mount Gulugod Baboy
Bundok Gulugod Baboy
A grassy ridge shaped like a pig’s spine, about 525 m high, with summit views over Balayan Bay, Batangas Bay and Maricaban Island.
Mount Gulugod Baboy (meaning “the pig’s spine”) sits in the middle of the Mabini Peninsula at about 525 m above sea level and is one of Anilao’s most popular land activities. The ridge is open grassland, and from the top you can see Balayan Bay, Batangas Bay, Maricaban Island and Sombrero Island, with Mindoro Island visible in clear weather. Starting from the Sitio Gulugod trailhead, the one-way hike takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. It is easy and suitable for beginners. You can continue to the summit of the neighboring Pinagbanderahan. The trailhead requires registration and a small fee. There is almost no shade on the mountain, so start early in the morning and bring plenty of water.
