Mount Dulang-dulang, dubbed by Filipino mountaineers as "D2", is one of the high elevation peaks in the Kitanglad Mountain Range, located in the north central portion of the province of Bukidnon in the island of Mindanao. It is the second highest mountain of the Philippines at 2,941 metres (9,649 ft) above sea level, second only to Mount Apo of Davao at 2,956 m (9,698 ft) and slightly higher than Mount Pulag of Luzon, the third highest at 2,922 m (9,587 ft).[1]

The mountain is regarded by the Talaandig tribe of Lantapan as a sacred place. It is also within the ancestral domain of the tribe.

Notes

  1. ↑ Several sources state elevation, prominence and country rank information of another peak matching the data of Mount Dulang-dulang. These sources list a mountain named "Mount Katanglad" (spelled with "Ka" instead of the "Ki" in the usual spelling of Mount Kitanglad) with an elevation of 2,941 m[2] and a prominence of 2,440 m.[3][4] Several other sources evaluated as very reliable for this information give the elevation of Mount Kitanglad (with an "i") as 2,899 m.[5][6][7] Information gathered from these sources suggests that the elevation and prominence information of Peaklist and Peakbagger is in error for Mount Katanglad (with an "a"), and likely refer to nearby Dulang-dulang. Since the discovery of this error, Peakbagger (a site previously in error over the confusion between the two peaks) now has a verified page for "Mount Dulang-dulang",[8] confirming the above information for the peak. Additionally, Peakbagger now also has a page for "Mt. Kitanglad" (with the correct spelling with an "i" and the corrected elevation data)[9] explaining the mistake, though the Kitanglad page does contain a disclaimer stating its information is currently unverified.
