As one of the most popular spots for eco-tourism, it instills in guests the need to care for the environment.

According to Billie\u00a0 Dumaliang, Masungi\u2019s advocacy officer, guests wanted to return to Silayan sans the trail which is why they finally offered set menus for non-trail guests.<\/p>\n<p><em>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/travel\/2016\/03\/10\/masungi-georeserve\/\" target=\"_blank\">Masungi Georeserve\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24815\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/sous-vide-chicken-silayan-dining-room-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/sous-vide-chicken-silayan-dining-room.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/sous-vide-chicken-silayan-dining-room-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/sous-vide-chicken-silayan-dining-room-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/sous-vide-chicken-silayan-dining-room-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>69\u00b0 Sous Vide Chicken with Mashed Ube &amp; Pepper Sauce (Php 1,400\/guest)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24811\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/silayan-dining-room-masungi-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/silayan-dining-room-masungi.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/silayan-dining-room-masungi-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/silayan-dining-room-masungi-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/08\/silayan-dining-room-masungi-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>Feel the chilly Antipolo with Silayan&#8217;s outdoor seating<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Many places in Antipolo boast of stunning views but nothing can compare to the magnificent 360\u00b0 view of Laguna de Bay, Sierra Madre, and Metro Manila skyline that only Silayan can offer.
