Hailed as the highest landform in the island of Cebu, Osme\u00f1a Peak has become a primary destination for those who wanted to experience the beauty of nature 1,013 meters above sea level. For years, tourists and outdoor enthusiasts have been flocking this area not knowing that if they explored further in the locality, they would have doubled the adrenaline rush by trekking a nearby monolith \u2013 Kandungaw Peak (Candongao Peak).<\/p>\n
Kandungaw Peak, or Candongao Peak as fondly spelled by many, came from the Bisaya word \u201cdungaw\u201d<\/em><\/strong> which meant \u201cto look down\u201d.<\/em><\/strong> According to the locals, Kandungaw became a hiding place of the locals during the Japanese invasion. The tip of the monolith is a vantage point for guards to give signal when their security is threatened. Nearby, is the cave where people hid themselves in fear of prosecution or slavery. At present, this almost 90-degree cliff still brings adrenaline rush to whoever stands on it, not because of the Japanese, but because of pure joy of excitement of conquering the fear.<\/p>\n
