Mount Kabuyao

Mount Kabuyao

Mount Kabuyao is a mountain near Baguio City in Benguet Province, Luzon, Philippines. Its peak is more than 2000 meters above sea level. It is commonly mistaken as Mt. Sto. Tomas which is a taller mountain just beside it. Due to its height, several communication companies constructed relay stations at the summit. A private observatory and a radar station, once operated by the US Armed Forces stationed in the country, is also located here. A water catchment area was constructed to supply water to the City of Baguio and nearby towns. A small community of farmers live at the top of the mountain. A Town Hall and a School was built for them by the local government.

The summit is also a good vantage point. During a fair weather, one can see the whole City of Baguio to the east and could partially see the province of Pangasinan to the west. On a clear day, one can observe moving cargo ships passing by the South China Sea.

Hikers climb the mountain occasionally for recreational purposes.
