By employing machine learning algorithms—gradient boosting machine (GBM), random forest (RF), and support vector machine (SVM)—within the cross-industry standard process for data mining (CRISP-DM) framework, both the accuracy and efficiency of medicinal plant geolocation are enhanced. The assessment employs precision, recall, accuracy, and F1 score performance metrics. Results reveal that SVM and GBM algorithms exhibit superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 97.29%, with SVM showing remarkable computational efficiency. Meanwhile, despite inferior performance, RF remains competitive especially when model interpretability is required. These outcomes highlight the efficacy of SVM and GBM in medicinal plant geolocation and accentuate their potential to advance environmental research, conservation strategies, and pharmaceutical explorations. The study underscores the interdisciplinary significance of accurately geolocating medicinal plants, supporting their conservation for future pharmaceutical innovation and ecological sustainability.  \nKeywords: geolocation, machine learning, medicinal plants, support vector machine, gradient boosting machine  \n1. Introduction  \nTracing back to ancient civilizations and extending into modern ecological conservation and pharmaceutical domains, the precise geolocation of medicinal plants is substantiative regarding the enhancement of healthcare outcomes, preserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable development. Medicinal plants, integral to the healing traditions of Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, and other cultures, have been perpetually used to prevent, relieve, or treat illnesses. This practice, profoundly embedded in the cultural heritage of numerous communities, has been meticulously documented and passed down through generations. In the Philippines, the melding of Malay, Spanish, and American influences enrich its traditional understanding of medicinal plants, with conventional healers such as “albularyos” or “pilot” using these plants to treat various ailments.  \nEthnobotanical research in the Philippines highlights the deep traditional knowledge of indigenous tribes, identifying the country as a critical biodiversity hotspot with around 13,000 plant species, 39% of which are endemic [1-2]. This biodiversity underpins the extensive use of 1,500 medicinal plants in traditional medicine, with significant potential recognized for contemporary pharmaceuticals. Among this vast cluster of medicinal plants, 10 plants are widely recognized, 177 are earmarked for further research, and the confirmation of safety and efficacy pertains to 120 plants [3] . These insights emphasize the significance of medicinal plants in both traditional and modern healthcare contexts, showcasing their potential in pharmaceutical development.  \n* Corresponding author.
