Manulit Peak
A 20-minute trek from Mt. Manunggal campsite awaits a hidden gem. It is like a smaller version of Mt. Mauyog. It also has a rocky peak and a picturesque 360-view.

| Manulit peak is not included in our itinerary but we met kids, John and Mariefel who are willing to guide us to the peak. |
