Underground cave found in Bukidnon

MALAYBALAY, Bukidnon—Members of the Higaonon tribe recently discovered a massive underground cave with a mini forest and crystal clean spring.

Higaonon is an indigenous tribe in the northern and central regions of Mindanao.

The cave’s entrance is an 80-meter hole which remains unexplored as the locals consider the place sacred.

Residents in the area where the cave was found said a man gathering “guano” had gone missing there years ago. His body was later found 80 feet below the cave entrance.

A local described the cave as “like a cathedral with spring flowing towards an unknown direction.”

The location of the area was withheld on the request of the Daily Tribune source so as not to attract treasure hunters and looters.

The cave is located beside a hill within the ancestral land of a tribal clan in the area.
