Batorampon Point is the westernmost point of the island of Mindanao (7.109°N 121.8977°W) in the Philippines and has been named so since the mid-19th century.[1] [2] [3] The rocky cliff, located within the limits of the City of Zamboanga, was previously known as Batalampon Point, becoming Batorampon Point in the 1940s.[4] [5] The point is located just north of Labuan, about from downtown Zamboanga City.
Batorampon Point is also the alleged name[6] of the highest elevation in Zamboanga City located in 7.0736°N 122.0231°W. The peak was not named in the 1940s topography map of the region by the U.S. Army's topographic engineering agency, the Army Map Service.[4] When it was named Batorampon Point is not known.
