History

edit

The rock pillars feature was once called as Nagbuo by the locals. And as soon as mountaineers frequented the area, it was called Marami (en. plenty) as referencing to its feature having multiple rocky pillars.[3]

Hiking activity

edit
 
The Silyang Bato is an adjacent rock pillar feature from Mt. Marami's Summit of Maragondon, Cavite in the Philippines

Mount Marami can be climbed from Barangay Ramirez of Magallanes, Cavite[1] to where the trail ends at its summit where the Silyang Bato, a rock formation which means Stone Chair, can be climbed for a 360-degree view of the Mounts Palay-Palay–Mataas-na-Gulod Protected Landscape.

A trail traversing all the mountains of the protected landscape starting at the foot of Marami and ends at Palay-Palay in Nasugbu was mapped by a five-man expedition team in 2014.[1]
