An ideal getaway to any outdoor enthusiasts looking for an easy day-trip within the proximity of Manila which has a historical value coupled with adventure and great landscapes. It is part of the historical Biak-na-Bato National Park where Emilio Aguinaldo established the "Biak-na-Bato Republic" and made it their headquarters for a time.
Like it's twin peak Mt. Gola, Mt. Manalmon is classified as a minor climb which is very suitable for beginners that are being introduce to hiking. Both mountains shares a common trail on the first part of the hike that passes a cave, grassland and river crossing which is then separated by a river gorge. The left trail leads to Mt. Gola while the right trail leads to Mt. Manalmon.
Even though it stands at only 643 feet above sea level and relatively small for a mountain, but the view on the summit gives a picturesque 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape that includes Madlum River, Mt. Gola, San Miguel and the surrounding towns of Bulacan, even Mt. Arayat can also be seen from afar.
How to Get There:
1. Ride a bus bound to Cabanatuan.
2. Alight in San Miguel, Bulacan (town proper)
3. Ride a trike to Sitio Madlum (DENR Registration)
