Mountain Range, is covered by lofty
forests and is a home to a variety of

several major river systems which
include the Maagnao River and
Alanib River, tributaries of the
Pulangi River, which drains into the

 The volcano's English name is taken from an
American, General Frank Parker, who spotted
the mountain and claimed to have "discovered"
it during a flight he piloted in 1934. Parker led
an expedition up to the lake in the mountain's
crater with other US colonial and Filipino
government officials, including Vice-Governor-
General Joseph Ralston Hayden and Provincial
Governor Gutierrez, in the fall of 1934.
Melibengoy is considered one of the sacred

Parantica dannatti reyesi, a butterfly related to
the monarch, which was discovered by the late
Professor Josue de los Reyes of Notre Dame of
Marbel University and published in the

entomological journal of Senckerburg Research
Institute in December 1994.
Government officials have also confirmed
sightings of the Philippine tarsier, Tarsius
syrichta which can supposedly be found in the
