Mount Dulang-dulang, dubbed by Filipino mountaineers as "D2", is one of the high elevation peaks in the Kitanglad Mountain Range, located in the north central portion of the province of Bukidnon in the island of Mindanao. It is the second highest mountain of the Philippines at 2,941 metres (9,649 ft) above sea level, second only to Mount Apo of Davao at 3,412 m (11,194 ft) and slightly higher than Mount Pulag of Luzon, the third highest at 2,922 m (9,587 ft).[8]

Mount Dulang-dulang, similar to other peaks located in the Kitanglad Mountain Range, is covered by lofty forests and is a home to a variety of fauna and flora. It is home to 58 mammal species including bats, squirrels, monkeys, wild boars, flying lemurs, shrews, and deer.[8] The Philippine Eagle is also sighted within the vicinity of the mountain.

The mountain is regarded by the Talaandig tribe of Lantapan as a sacred place. It is also within the ancestral domain of the tribe.[citation needed]

Notes

  1. ↑ Several sources state elevation, prominence and country rank information of another peak matching the data of Mount Dulang-dulang. These sources list a mountain named "Mount Katanglad" (spelled with "Ka" instead of the "Ki" in the usual spelling of Mount Kitanglad) with an elevation of 2,941 m[1] and a prominence of 2,440 m.[2][3] Several other sources evaluated as very reliable for this information give the elevation of Mount Kitanglad (with an "i") as 2,899 m.[4][5][6] Information gathered from these sources suggests that the elevation and prominence information of Peaklist and Peakbagger is in error for Mount Katanglad (with an "a"), and likely refer to the nearby peak of Mount Dulang-dulang. Since the discovery of this error, Peakbagger now has a page for "Mt. Kitanglad" (with an "i")[7] explaining the mistake, though the page does contain a disclaimer stating the information is currently unverified.
