It is on the land of Cotabato. Considered as the highest place in the city, where there are many trees and giant rocks. Where you can breathe fresh air and your heart will be at ease for its peaceful vibe. Pedro Colina Hill is its name but people are more familiar calling it– PC Hill. Well it is no special place, neither grand festivals nor particular tourist spots you will witness. PC Hill is just a simple place and that’s what makes it extraordinary.

My mother’s family has been here since the time that it is still a developing place.

The historic Pedro Carolina Hill or PC Hill, one of Cotabato City’s major landmarks has been transformed into a colorful hillside attraction in the city as over 100 houses had been painted with the bright and lively colors of the rainbow with a touch of painted accents of the city’s symbols such as crabs, gongs, and the guinakit.

This colorful transformation of PC Hill was funded by the Department of Tourism – Region 12 and implemented in cooperation with the City Government of Cotabato.

A military reservation area, PC Hill currently houses the offices of the Cotabato City Police Headquarters , the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency – Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, among others.

This is why it is very important for us to give this landmark a new face and make it as glorious as it was before.

In this project, about 100 houses on the PC hill will be painted with the bright and lively colors of the rainbow with a touch of painted accents such as crabs, gongs, and the guinakit—the symbols of Cotabato City.
