Mt. Lobo
980 m above sea level · Batangas · 13.649°N, 121.290°E · effort 5/9
A quiet forest peak above Lobo's Malabrigo coast, far from the Batangas hiking crowds. Coffee and atis farms low down give way to mossy forest, with the historic Malabrigo lighthouse waiting after the descent.
Access and permits
Before you go
A 2017 mountain ecotourism study distinguishes Mt. Lobo-Naguiling from Mt. Tilos: it reports Naguiling approaches including Jaybanga and Nagtoctoc, and a Malabrigo coastal approach for Tilos. It does not establish that the cataloged Malabrigo trail reaches the intended Mt. Lobo summit.
Arrange with: Lobo municipal tourism office and Malabrigo barangay authorities; verify which summit the itinerary reaches

Trails
| Trail | Jump-off | Effort | Technical | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lobo Trail | Brgy. Malabrigo, Lobo, Batangas | 5/9 | C | 14.2 km out-and-back (route partly mapped) | Day hike (3–4 h ascent) |
Effort (1-9) is computed from distance, ascent and terrain; technical (A-E) follows the trail class, from a clear path (A) to real climbing (E). Elevations, grades and trail data are indicative - always verify with the LGU / DENR before a climb. Routes come from OpenStreetMap and can be partial or outdated; a mapped line does not prove a safe or open path.
Take Mt. Lobo offline
Bundok ng Pinas keeps a personal climb log, records your track with the screen off, saves this mountain's topographic map for use without signal and shows the same access notes on the trail. No account needed.
