Standing tall as the "Grandfather of Philippine Mountains," Mount Apo is a potentially active stratovolcano located between the provinces of Cotabato and Davao del Sur, along with Davao City. Derived from the local Bagobo word "Apo," which translates to "Grandfather" or "Master," this awe-inspiring peak is revered as sacred ground by indigenous tribes. It is a biodiversity hotspot, home to lush mossy forests, ancient crater lakes, sulfurous vents, and endangered wildlife, including the majestic Philippine Eagle.
