Mt. Obabis (Imoc)


Located in San Pablo City, Mt. Obabis also known as Imoc Hills is a part of the Laguna volcanic field which has an elevation of 1320 ft. above sea level. A short hike of 30 minutes trek from the jump off point leads to an ascent of more than 600 ft. of almost a 45 degree elevation that passes through Coconut trees, Banana and Pineapple plantation. 

Two communication towers (Telfast & Globe Telecom) are being housed on the top of the summit and is off limits to unauthorized person, just tell the guards you'll just take quick pictures. A 360 degree view is not possible because of the structured towers and the summit is also a small plateau. However, one can still take pictures in key strategic location where a picturesque view of the surrounding mountains are just waiting to unfold. It is like joining the pieces of jigsaw puzzle that when put together offers a breath taking view of Mt. Kalisungan, Mt. Makiling, Malipunyo Range, Banahaw Trilogy, Mt. Sembrano, Talim Island and the Laguna Bay which can be seen on a clear blue sky.
