Mount Kinigantian or Kiligantian, (Bundok Kinigantian or Kiligantian) is a mountain in the island of Luzon, the Philippines. Standing at 2,306 meters, it is the tallest mountain in the province of Nueva Ecija, near Central Luzon. Mount Kiligantian is part of the Sierra Madre Mountain range which passes though the eastern part of the province. The mountain has three peaks, referred locally as ''Koronang Hari''. The tallest peak, Peak 3 dominates the surrounding hillside and is visible for miles around. The mountain is home to several rare species of rodents endemic to the archipelago. == Lakan Gakan's Rebellion == The mountain is noted for being the base of one of Central Luzon's most famous rebellion. In 1697, the forces of Lakan Gakan of Gapan (near modern-day Cabanatuan) took refuge in its forest covered slopes. Records state that at least 20,000 troops under the command of Lakan Gakan may have been in the mountain during the early days of Lakan Gakan's revolt. According to one Captain Hernando Asturias: :''"The chief made camp in the three crowns of the Mountain...upon which he and his men turned its passes and jungles into a formidable fortress. From its shadows they marched out to lay waste upon Castillian defenses and encampments. Those were the dark days of the uprising."'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Kiligantian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
