Looking at the original record in gns can give us some clue:

Name (Gazetteer Order):          Cabac, Mount (Unverified)  ===> hmm
probably non-existent
Name (Reading Order):   Mount Cabac
Short Name:     NULL
Feature Designation:    NULL
DMS Lat:        10° 17' 07" N ===> 10.2853 same with osm data
DMS Long:       124° 06' 00" E ==> 124.100 same with osm data
Country Name (Code):    Philippines (RP)
ADM1 Name (Code):       Southern Leyte (59) ====> this is useful
Generic:        NULL
Language Name (Code):   NULL
Creation Date:           7/4/1776 ===> this is dubious
Modify Date:    2/1/1996 4:19:00 PM

The ADM1 code hinted to search somewhere in Southern Leyte probably this peak:

Located somewhere here:

Ergo, data in the GNS is wrong.
