Mount Imbing is a mountain in the southern island of Mindanao in the Philippines.^[1] The majority of the mountain is located in the municipality of Lapuyan in the Province of Zamboanga del Sur in the Zamboanga Peninsula. Because it is located in the boundary area between two municipalities, part of its slope is located within San Miguel, Zamboanga del Sur. It is named after Thimuay Imbing,^[3] the most prominent ancestral leader of the Subanen people during the American colonial period.^[4]^[5] It is 800 km south of the Philippine capital of Manila and rises 720 meters abve sea level and about 436 meters from the surrounding terrain.^{[note 2]} Its foothills are about 5.9 kilometers wide.^{[note 3]}

The land surrounding Mount Imbing is mostly hilly, except in the east. ^{[note 4]} The highest point in the area has an altitude of 1,140 meters and is 12.7 km north of Mount Imbing.^{[note 5]} The nearest large town is Lapuyan, 7.0 km southwest of Mount Imbing. Bays and lagoons are common in the area around Mount Imbing. ^{[note 6]}

The area around Mount Imbing is almost covered with forest.^[7] There is about 90 people per square kilometer around Mount Imbing which is quite densely populated.^[8]
