This is the last natural landmark seen by the naked eye upon leaving Jolo. So called because upon losing sight of it, departing Muslims start weeping from nostalgia. An incident mentioning this mountain is related in the Sulu tarsila (genealogies). The Javanese ruler sent a gift of two elephants to Raja Baginda of Sulu. These were let loose and they lived and multiplied on Mount Tumantangis. On the declivity of this mountain there is a place still called lubluban-gaja, which means the "habitat or lying-place of the elephant". This explains the existence of elephants in Jolo during the early part of the Spanish regime.
