One remarkable viewing area in the Malipunyo traverse trail is the "Biak na Bundok" which literally means as "cracked or sliced mountain" in Tagalog language. It lies along the Malipunyo (Malarayat) mountain ranges between the provinces of Laguna, Batangas and Quezon.
According to our local guide, it was a discontinued highway project during the time of President Marcos that was supposed to connect San Pablo City and Lipa City which passes through the middle part of the mountain range. When the EDSA People Power broke out, the Marcoses were ousted and the whole project was scrapped. Since then, tall grasses have grown on it's slopes, leaving behind a partially eroded mountain.
How to Get There:
1. Ride a bus bound for SM Lipa.
2. Alight in SM Lipa and look for the tricycle station.
3. Tell the tricycle driver that you’re going to Mt. Manabu. They’ll take you to the Barangay Hall where you have to pay the environmental fee. Then they will drop you off at Sulok in Sta. Cruz, Sto. Tomas, Batangas.
