A

Mt. Pulag

53
Q

longest mountain
range in the country

 It is one of
the oldest orogens in the
archipelago. It runs in the
north-south direction from the
provinces of Cagayan to the north
and Quezon to the south. It covers
the areas of Aurora, Bulacan,
Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Ecija,
Nueva Vizcaya, Quezon, Quirino,
and Rizal province.

The range’s
highest point is still unclear since
several peaks are considered as
the highest. For example, Mount Anacuao in Aurora has a height of 1 850 meters
while Mount Cetaceo in Cagayan has the same altitude as well. In April 2012, Mount
Guiwan in Nueva Vizcaya had a preliminary measurement of 1 915 meters on the
summit.

connect
Sierra Madre Mountain with the
Central Cordillera. The mountain
range is located in the province of
Nueva Vizcaya. It serves as the
location of the headwaters of
Cagayan River which is the longest
river in the country. This mountain
range reaches an altitude of 1 680
meters.

Q

lies on
the western island of Luzon.

It separates Luzon’s
central plain from the South China
Sea. It extends from western
Pangasinan province, the whole
length of Zambales, to the tip of the
Bataan Peninsula in the south. Its
most noticeable feature is the
Cabusilan Mountain Range
comprised of Mt. Pinatubo, Mount
Negron, and Mount Cuadrado.
These mountains are believed to be
volcanic in origin, but the only
active volcano in the mountain
range is Mt. Pinatubo.
