Mount Makiling Forest Reserve rises to 1,100 masl. It is a well-known tropical forest recorded to have diverse ecosystems and home to many species of life. Pteridophyte species are among the floral groups found thriving in the said mountain. This study aimed to create a checklist of fern species found in disturbed areas of Mt. Makiling. The species listed were surveyed from a fern study along specific altitudinal areas from 150 masl to 1100 masl. Ferns surveyed were found along the trail going up to the peak of the mountain. A total of 48 species belonging to 30 genera and 18 families. The families with the greatest numbers of species were Dryopteridaceae (6 spp.), Selaginellaceae (5 spp.), Tectariaceae (5 spp.), Thelypteridaceae (5 spp.), and Pteridaceae (4 spp.). Threatened fern species were found on the mountain among which included
Angiopteris evecta (G. Forst.) Hoffm. and Phymatosorus membranifolius (R. Br.) Ching.
