Santa Cruz, Laguna: Large areas of Mount Banahaw will remain closed to trekkers, mountaineers and pilgrims as the mountain has yet to fully recover from environmental degradation. Officials, however, are keeping certain areas open for pilgrimage and other religious activities this Holy Week.

Mount Banahaw straddles the municipalities of Lucban, Tayabas, Sariaya, Candelaria and Dolores in Quezon and parts of the towns of Rizal, including Nagcarlan, Liliw, Majayjay and San Pablo City in Laguna.
