Tirad Pass on the mountain holds a significant place in Philippine history, having been the site of the 1899 Battle of Tirad Pass, where Gregorio del Pilar was killed. In April 2022, President Rodrigo Duterte signed a law declaring the pass as a protected landscape under the National Integrated Protected Areas System.[2]
