Mt. Parker




MT. MELEBINGOY (Mt. Parker)


The older version of the popular eco-tourism destination in Luzon, Mt. Pinatubo. It’s peak known as Asamblak peak stands tall at 1,750m ASL and holds a mossy campsite. Overlooking is the Maughan Lake at 300 m below. It is the crater lake of Mt. Parker and is estimated to be 300 ha wide.


Two popular trails exist, the Salacate Trail which goes directly to the lake via 4 to 5 hrs of smooth trail where one could savor the coolness and serenity of Lake Holon (Maughan), and the San Jose Trail at GenSan City. This trail is strenuous and goes directly to Asamblak Peak where one could not go any further and can only view the Lake at the tree viewing deck of the peak.

Other Municipal Destinations: Hidak Falls, Melebingoy Cave, El Minet Gazer, Bacnob

    Wow, I like the picture. It has the "calendar" effect. Snow capped mountain na lang ang kulang and I wouldn't recognize as from the Philippines.
