In Philippine mythology this mountainis named after a goddess or "diwata" named Maria Makiling and is well known, As she is the spirit goddess of this place, providing all the resources for the town people. She invoked deluge to stop storms and earthquake.
From various peaks the mountain resembles Maria's face and her two breast respectively, and hair cascading down the slopes away from the body.
Theres a lot of stories about this mountain, as if you pay repect to the mountain, you will be fully guided and she might even show up. A common story is a group of hikers leaving their tent full of trash and human waste, to search for water, find themselves lost and going to a same place over and over again, it was when they cleaned up their mess that they located water coming from the falls.
