Mount Banoy (also known as Banoi) is a mountain in Batangas and the Calabarzon region, in the central part of the country, 100 km south of the city of Manila, the capital of the country, and in the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Mount Banoy is 960 meters above sea level, or 799 meters above the surrounding terrain. Its foothills are about 23.6 kilometers wide.

Details

The mountain is located between the boundary of Batangas City, and Lobo. It is one of the mountains in Lobo along with Mount Lobo (Mt. Bangkalan and Nagpatong Peak), Mt. Naguiling, Mt. Daguldol, and Mount Tibig.[citation needed] It also played a major role on giving Lobo its name. Some people believed that the municipality got its name from a lobo (balloon) that flied into Mt.
