If Osmenia Peak in the southern part of Cebu is known to be the highest peak in the South, then I think Mt. Manghilao is the highest peak in Northern part of Cebu though it not yet confirmed. Mt. Manghilao is not that famous unlike Osmenia Peak, Mt. Manuggal and other mountains but in Mt. Manghilao you can see the beautiful over looking of Danao City.
Mt. Manghilao is located in Coastal part of Danao City, few miles from Danao proper. It was a perfect day when my friend Char went there with her friends also (a certified mountaineers), from SM City Cebu we ride a vhire going to Danao City. When we arrived in Danao proper we bought our foods first for lunch and also water. Char and Jenn already knew the place so we just ask the "habal-habal" driver to bring us to Mt. Manghilao. When we arrived in the starting point we ask some local where is the way go up to Manghilao they give us direction but we're not pretty sure if we are on the right way. Luckily there were these 3 kids passing by so we ask them if they can guide us going up. We met Dave a 12 years old one of our guide in our day hike to Mt. Manghilao. Dave is kinda amazing and friendly, he told us something about the place and etc. Also his cousins, the younger one's show us something that is not really different but it's different how they use it.
