Bud Dajo (Tausug: Būd Dahu; Spanish: Monte Dajó), is a cinder cone and the second highest point (+600m) in Sulu, a province of the Philippines in the Sulu Archipelago. It is one of the cinder cones that make up the island of Jolo and part of the Jolo Volcanic Group.[2] The extinct volcano is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southeast from the town of Jolo in Sulu. The mountain and adjacent lands were declared as Mount Dajo National Park in 1938.[3] It is a sacred mountain for the locals, and the Tausug people at-large, as well as nearby ethnic groups.[4]
