Mabitac was an excellent hunting ground for wild game three centuries ago. Native hunters used numerous cave-ins or trap-ins called "bitag" in the local dialect. Hence, the place was referred to as "Mabitag" meaning "a place with many traps".
Mabitac is 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Santa Cruz, 76 kilometres (47 mi) from Manila, and 59 kilometres (37 mi) from Antipolo.
