- Dulang-dulang, Philippines' 2nd highest
- Mayon, highest in the Bicol Region
The following is an incomplete list of mountains in the Philippines. Several of these are volcanoes, formed by subducting tectonic plates surrounding the archipelago. [1]
This list contains most of the highest mountains in the country. It is limited to mountain peaks with, if known, an elevation of at least 200 metres (660 feet) above sea level, and may include those considered as hills. The distinction between a hill and a mountain in terms of elevation is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be less tall and less steep than a mountain. [2]

† | potentially-active volcano (morphologically young-looking but with no historical records of eruption) [1] |
no data or inactive/extinct volcano (no record of eruptions; physical form is being changed by agents of weathering and erosion) [1] (check "Notes" section) |
Hills are easier to climb than mountains. They are less steep and not as high. But, like a mountain, a hill will usually have an obvious summit, which is its highest point.
The ravines are deep and steep slopes are covered only by cogon. The Ragay coast is hilly and rolling. Mt. Isarog with an elevation of 1, 976 meters and Mt. Iriga with 1, 196 meters, in the central and southern parts are inactive volcanoes. Also there is the Tangkong Baka mountain range which is the lower portion of the Sierra Madre mountain system and the Calinigan Mountain Range (904 meters) in the Partido area. Other mountains in the province are: Mt. Sugutin- 366m, Mt. Tiis- 610 m, Saddle Peak- 1,028m, Triple Peak- 638m, Mt. Putianay- 640m, Mt. Elizario- 508m, Mt. Talitig- 385m.
It's a nearly two hour trip from Cebu City to Osmeña Peak, the highest mountain in Cebu that is a favorite among hikers for its picturesque view of the countryside. Osmena Peak rises 1,013 meters above sea level and is nestled between the southern towns of Dalaguete and Badian. It straddles the Mantalongon range in the southwest and offers a 360 degree view of nature, including the islands of Bohol and Negros.
A must-see in this part of Cebu is Osmeña Peak, which stands 1013+ meters above sea level (MASL).
Going to Mt. Lantoy, Argao's second highest peak (1,945 ft. or 593 meters), involves many exciting and challenging activities, ...

Mount Malindang is a complex volcano located in the province of Misamis Occidental in the southern island of Mindanao, Philippines. It is the highest point in the province. The least studied mountain range was formed through several volcanic activities some of which could be historical, evident by the presence of two calderas, surrounded by high rock walls, cinder cones, dome volcano plugs, two sulfurous hot springs, and a crater lake named Lake Duminagat. The amphitheater structures have extensive distribution of volcanic rocks, carbonized wood that are found in pyroclastic deposits. The mountain range is dissected by several canyons and ravines.
Mount Kalatungan, also known as Catatungan, is a volcanic mountain located in the province of Bukidnon in the southern Philippines. It is a stratovolcano with no known historical eruptions and classified by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) as a potentially active volcano.

Mount Malinao is a potentially active stratovolcano located in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. The volcano displays strong fumarolic activity which is harnessed for generating electricity. Located on its slope is Tiwi Geothermal Power Plant, one of the first geothermal energy plant commissioned in the country.
