Mount Cabuyao

Mount Cabuyao is a mountain summit located in Tuba, Benguet, rising to about 2000 meters in elevation. Two large satellite dishes positioned at the peak are the most visible structures on the ridge.

The summit served as a military strategic location where the United States established an observatory and radar station. These facilities were important during the Cold War period as part of regional monitoring operations.

Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices at the mountain's peak, where a small community continues their way of life.

Access to this location involves environmental restrictions meant to protect the forest reserve. Visitors should inquire about current regulations and any required permissions before attempting to reach the summit.

On clear days, the summit offers views where ocean cargo vessels can be seen crossing the South China Sea while the surrounding provinces spread out below. This combination of maritime traffic and mountain vistas makes it a distinctive vantage point.
