However, access can be inconsistent, with reports of it being private property, which may lead to disappointment for some visitors.
"It isn't open to public. The guard on-duty there said the hill is a private property, no visitors allowed, and he didn't disclosed the ownership name for "security purposes". So disappointing for me to not see and capture the scenic Mayon city view."
