Protected area in Philippines
The Pamitinan Protected Landscape is a Philippine protected area of approximately 609 hectares in the Sierra Madre mountain range, just 34 kilometres (21 mi) northeast of Metro Manila. It contains and protects the Montalban Gorge formed by the Marikina River that separates Mount Pamitinan and Mount Binacayan in the municipality of Rodriguez in Rizal. Established in 1996 through Proclamation No. 901 issued by President Fidel Ramos, the park is originally a component of the Mariquina Reserve founded in 1904 to protect the watershed of the Marikina River that supplied water to the City of Manila from the Wawa Dam located just above the Montalban Gorge in the early 1900s.
