⌛ Mount Kitanglad National Park in Bukidnon

The name Kitanglad came from a legend: a great flood submerged the native lands and only the tip of the mountain, the size of tanglad (lemon grass), remained visible (kita in Tagalog). Today, it is the domain of several old cultural communities like the Bukidnon, Higaonon and Talaandig.

Mount Kitanglad National Park is 40,176 hectares, including five high elevation mountain peaks: Mount Kitanglad, Mount Lumuluyaw, Mount Maagnaw, Mount Tuminungan and Mount Dulan-Dulang, the second highest mountain in the country. Several caves, waterfalls and hot springs are within the densely forested range. Home of the Philippine eagle, the range is the best place in the country to spot one in the wild. It is identified as one of the richest area of flora and fauna biodiversity.
