Mount San Cristobal
Mount San Cristobal

Mount San Cristobal is a potentially active stratovolcano at the boundary of the provinces of Laguna and Quezon on the island of Luzon, Philippines. The mountain rises to an elevation of 1,470 m (4,820 ft) above mean sea level and is one of the volcanic features of Macolod Corridor. Mount San Cristobal is considered the "Devil's Mountain" in Christian-influenced Filipino folklore. Although that was not always the case. The mountain was previously considered as a sacred site, along with Mount Banahaw, under the indigenous Philippine folk religions, where the two mountains are said to be protected by the native Tagalog deities. However, due to Spanish colonization, the mountain's name was changed to "San Cristobal" in a bid to destroy its native origin. The Spanish began demonizing the native religions, which led to "Mount San Cristobal" being branded as the devil mountain by white Spanish colonizers. By the 20th century, due to Christian narratives, Mount San Cristobal was depicted as the so-called alter-ego of the Holy Mountain, Mount Banahaw, which continues to be viewed today as sacred despite centuries of colonial influence. Both San Cristobal and Banahaw are part of the Mounts Banahaw–San Cristobal Protected Landscape, covering 10,901 hectares (26,940 acres) of land. The mountain is bordered by San Pablo in the province of Laguna at its northern slope and Dolores in the province of Quezon at its southern slope.
