The stunning view from the Bongao Peak, Tawi Tawi

 Bongao Peak or famously known as "Bud Bongao" is a Historical landmark in the province that stands tall to welcome visitors. Bongao is located in the Island group of Tawi-Tawi Province under the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) believed to be the safest place in the region.

Bongao peak has by approximately 314 meters above sea level and is considered as the highest peak in the province that dominates by its landscape.

Bud Bongao is located at Bongao Peak Ecotourism and Natural Park covering 250 hectares of forest as one of the last remaining moist forests in the Sulu Archipelago. The most prominent wildlife that you can see here is the Philippine macaques and many of them are released out in the wild. I suggest bringing some bananas so you can enjoy feeding them.   


There is plenty of flora and fauna that you can see while going uphill. Different classes of trees like pitogo, molave, spreading club moss, kalantas and bitanghol can be seen here. Varieties of insects species and animals are still being protected and free to live in this protected forest.

When reaching the Peak, the feeling of being tired will be washed out and replace its admiring fantastic and Panoramic scenery lying down to forests and Ocean views. Prepare your camera and take your best shot at this wonderful natural creation.

Enjoy the admiring beauty of Bongao peak while a cool wind gusts on you. From here, you can see the closest towns and islands tapping served as your great vitamin eye. Yes, I definitely come back to you
