Mt. Palingkod

Overview

Mt. Palingkod is a highland in Barangay Tubod Monte, Jagna, Bohol, listed in the provincial tourist-attraction inventory under Mountains/Hills/Highlands. The barangay name “Tubod Monte” translates roughly to “upland spring,” a fair description of the elevated, water-fed character of the area.

Location

The mountain is in Barangay Tubod Monte, an upland barangay of Jagna on Bohol’s southeastern coast. Jagna is approximately 58 kilometres east of Tagbilaran City — historically one of the province’s busier ports, shipping copra and abaca out to Cebu through the 19th and early 20th centuries, with an economy that still leans on trade and, more recently, tourism investment.

Getting There

From Tagbilaran City, take a bus or van headed to Jagna along the south coastal road. Travel time is approximately 1.5 hours. From Jagna town proper, take a motorcycle or habal-habal to Barangay Tubod Monte.

What to Expect

An upland highland destination in the interior of Jagna. The municipality’s highlands — which also include Mt. Canhumangad, Mt. Matunog, and Mt. Taliwtiw — form a cluster of natural attractions across its upland barangays. One local travel blog describes this hill as offering “a perfect view of the town and the neighboring volcanic island, Camiguin” — the only specific feature-level detail found for this site; trail length, difficulty, and access details beyond this remain unconfirmed. Anyone passing through Jagna town on the way should know it for kalamay, the sticky rice-and-coconut sweet the municipality is known for.
