which offers a cleaner trails, a wonderful views, a beautiful
waterfalls, and a breathtaking experience in trekking the mountain.
During rainy season, the way going to the mountain can be muddy or
slippery, be careful.
Maranat is not a mountain but it is exactly the name of the waterfalls that is covered by Mt. Oriod.

We took a night hike going similar to our first hike in Mt. Balagbag. We start our trip from Vito Cruz going to Fairview as usual. Then, from Fairview to Tungkong Mangga and Tungkong Mangga going to Licao-Licao.
After a long trip we did already arrived at Licao-Licao.
From the trailhead, We stop at the Licao-Licao Barangay Hall to pay a registration fee of P10/person.
It was awesome and a risky hike because
of the slippery trail and steep rocks going to the Mt. Maranat.
Flashlight is badly needed if you happen to go on a night hike. Along
the road, we stop by at nanay Julma store "we call it the 7/11 store"
that provide basic need for mountaineers like foods and drinks. Nanay
Julma specialty is the biko.
Taking a break at Nanay store
On the way, a several streams and small rivers can be pass by. Before reaching the campsite, there is a famous river that every hiker must cross which require the help of a rope. It is quite raging during rainy days, but it can be slow moving and peaceful during summer.
The famous river of Mt. Maranat
Upon crossing the river, we reach the campsite early in the morning. We
were very late compared to our initial plan time due to the hours
consumed in crossing the famous river.

What interest us in Mt. Maranat is the waterfalls that paints a scene so perfectly, can be found just below the campsite . After an hour of sleep and session, We headed to the waterfalls to swim and relax. Our Journey to Maranat is precious that every mountaineer would experiences.
