Pantingan Peak - Mt . Mariveles ( 1 , 388 +) Posted : 01 Jun 2011 12 : 17 PM PDTPANTINGAN PEAK - MT . MARIVELESBagac , BataanMajor jumpoff : Gabon , Sitio Duhatan , Brgy . Saysain , BagacLLA : 1388 MASLDays required / Hours to summit : 1 - 2 days / 6 - 9 hoursSpecs : Major climb , Difficulty 6 / 9 , Trail class 2 - 4 Features : Views of Mariveles RangeBACKGROUNDThe highest peak in crater rim of Mt . Mariveles , and thus , its summit , is Pantingan Peak , consequently the highest point in the province of Bataan , and one of the prominent peaks of Central Luzon . Mt . Mariveles is more known for Tarak Ridge , with its scenic , windy rockscape , overlooking Manila Bay and South China Sea . Whereas Tarak is an outward - looking viewpoint , Pantingan is more introspective , in the sense that it offers a wide - angled view of the caldera of Mariveles ( yes , it is , or was a volcano ) as well as the peaks that surround it . It was in the early 1990 s when AMCI , led by Sky Biscocho , pioneered the exploration of the Mariveles Range . Tarak Ridge , a product of this initiative , became a popular hiking destination . The other peaks , however , did not receive as much attention , and until now , they remain in a relatively pristine state . Pantingan Peak , considering , its proximity to Manila , can make for a very nice and challenging dayhike or a still - challenging two - day climb . The climber will first pass through a forest ; then grassy slopes will lead him to the base of Pantingan Peak . The trail gets steeper , yet the climbing is pleasant because of the forest cover . From Subuangan Campsite , a small campsite less than an hour from the summit , it is a continuous ascent , and the final part is quite steep , and the trails are overgrown . After this final challenge , though , there is the reward of reaching the summit , and seeing the breathtaking views of the Mariveles range .

Ride bus to Manila 2100 Back in ManilaSPECIAL CONCERNSGuides and permits No advance permit is required to climb Pantingan Peak , but considering that there are only very few guies who know the trail , prior arrangements with Mr . Rey Jimenez ( guide ) is recommended . He may be reached at 0928 . 260 . 96 . 45 . Getting there . Take the Bataan Transit ( in Five Star Terminal , Cubao ) , Genesis , or any other bus that heads to Balanga and get off at the terminal , from which you can either take a jeep to Bagac Market , or make direct arrangements for a jeepney to the jumpoff . For the dayhike , renting a van or taking a vehicle from Manila is the most expedient option . Trail notes . The last part of the trail , leading to the summit , is quite overgrown and thorny ; noxious plants abound . Exercise the necessary precautions . on the other hand , the first part of the trail is supposed to have a lot of beehives and even a slight provocation can cause some trouble , as has happened in the past , according to the guides . Follow his advice on how to proceed . PANTINGAN PEAK PICTURESDawn along the trail . Pantingan Peak is the high peak on the right . The forest leading to Pantingan Peak is reminiscent of some other Central Luzon hiking destinations such as Tarak Ridge , Natib , and Arayat . At the summit of Pantingan Peak , you can see the wide caldera of Mariveles the volcano , and the other peaks of the caldera rim . TRIVIAAccording to Sky Biscocho , Pantingan was first climbed in 1996 . PinoyMountaineer . com thanks Sir Martin Cortez for organizing the climb which he joined in April 2011 , as well as Sky Biscocho for providing some background during and after the climb . 피카도 르 님 의 파란 블로그 에서 발행 된 글 입니다 .
