Mount Puting Bato, also locally known as simply Puting Bato, is a notable peak located in Antipolo, Rizal in the Philippines.[1] Its name translates to "white rock" in English, characterized by the limestone present in the area.[2] Over time, these formations have undergone weathering, leading to a gradual fading of their original coloration.
With its summit reaching above 120 feet (36.5 meters)[1], the hill offers panoramic views of the other surrounding Antipolo hills and serves as a popular spot for both sunrise and sunset observations. Its summit features a prominent cross, making it a significant site during the Holy Week, especially for residents of Barangay San Luis, where it is situated.[3]
