September 10-11, 2012: They named it "Pico De Loro" - "Parrots Beak" or as Mt. Palay Palay, the original name. The peak's rocky outcropping is dramatic, and sharply contrasts with the plains of Cavite and the waters of South China Sea. The trail can be divided into two parts: the first is a gradual hike to the Basecamp 1 and beyond. The midpoint is a small rest/shaded area called Alibangbang. The second part is a steeper hike on a pleasant forest, leading all the way to the summit (there is a final, five-minute assault up). Prior to the summit, you will encounter the Summit Campsite surrounded by bamboos and some nice trees. There is also a part of the campsite that is part of a ridge that overlooks the summit.
TRIVIA
Emilio Aguinaldo, in May 1897 originally recommended that Andres Bonifacio be banished to Pico de Loro. He was overruled by his generals, who instead recommended Bonifacio to be executed in Mt. Tala. This goes to prove that the name Pico de Loro was around before Spanish times, and places a historical significance to the mountain.
