About Sacred Mountain National Park
Sacred Mountain National Park is a national park in Marawi, Lanao del Sur in the Southern Philippines. The mountain area has an indigenous local name, but lingering colonial influence in the 1960's was still strong during the early years of the republic, leading to the national government into naming the park as "sacred mountain" instead of its local name. Some locals have called for the national park's renaming, to reflect the indigenous identity of the locality. The 94-hectare (230-acre) national park and protected area, located in Brgys. Guimba and Papandayan, was established on August 5, 1965, by Republic Act no. 4190.
