RE: Peak #9: Mt. Kalugong
Yeah. Haggeo and I are geology students and we were surprised to see those outcrop at the peak. Thanks for dropping by.

I did a bit of googling around- a lot of the mountains around you seem to be old volcanos...
Yeah. They are. Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire so it's only natural to have a lot of volcanoes here; active and inactive. My country is seismically active, too.
My first climb was an active volcano, and my second climb was an inactive one. I only learned that it was a volcano when I saw it on the news a year after my climb. Yeah. So, there it is.
Pretty fascinating place to study geology. I wonder if the limestone strata were pushed up by a rising volcano.
It really is. Quite complicated at times. You should visit the Philippines sometime in the future.
Yes it sounds interesting there!
