  1. You can conjointly climb its summit up to the "Tanawang bato" during which you'll sight seeing and see the gorgeous Manangua caves in its mountain foot and you'll conjointly see some rocks that as massive as churches in it's foot. Mount Isarog and Calaguas Islands may also be seen fron the Tanawang bato in high of Mount Bagacay.
