One of the most enjoyable hike I have been so far is Mt. Batolusong in Tanay, Rizal. You can climb the Rangyas Peak which is considered the highest point of the mountain at about 1-2 hours. Minor difficulty in reaching the peak because you have to climb the rock without any ropes but with proper assistance of course.
