Agony Hill is a small hill located in Sitio Taban, Barangay Taban-Maguining, Alimodian, covering 1.87 hectares with an elevation of up to 100 meters. The area has clay loam soil and is home to various trees such as teak, mabolo, and acacia, and features a station of the cross built in 1966. The hill is linked to historical events, including the efforts of the first mayor and parish priest who brought religious activities to the indigenous community, inspiring the placing of a large wooden cross at the summit. Agony Hill is a religious site attracting many pilgrims during Holy Week who climb the hill as an act of faith and penance. The local government actively maintains the hill, restricting access except during key events to protect the area.
