Madja-as means 'mataas' in some local
dialect, but in English it can suitably described as 'lofty' instead of
just tall. This loftiness will definitely be felt in the summit which
opens up to the view of Western Panay island and the surrounding seas,
but it extends to the mossy forests of the mountain, in which several
unique flora and found have been identified.
Access is still
limited and Madja-as is currently a relative-unexplored peak, but as we
get more information we expect that Madjaas' rightful place will be
restored.
The mountain's Malay-sounding name has in fact some Malayan origin, tracing its roots from the story of the Ten Bornean Datus and the ancient "Confederation of Madjaas".
