Mount Mariveles is a dormant stratovolcano and the highest point in the province of Bataan in the Philippines. Mariveles and the adjacent Mount Natib comprise 80.9 percent of the total land area of the province.[3] The mountain and adjacent cones lie opposite the city of Manila across Manila Bay, providing a beautiful[editorializing] setting for the sunsets seen from the city.
