00:10 Cuevas in Metro Manila?

00:12 You heard it right!

00:14 And we're one of the lucky ones to be given a chance to enter before it's open to the public.

00:19 Come on, let's change the game and explore the beauty of Apugan Cave.

00:24 [music]

00:30 Caving in the jun- I mean,

00:32 [music]

00:33 urban jungle?

00:34 [music]

00:37 It's available in Metro Manila.

00:38 And we're talking about a natural cave, right?

00:41 [music]

00:43 Welcome to the Apugan Cave of the Lamesa Watershed Reservation in Quezon City.

00:48 Actually, it's been there for a long time.

00:50 But it was only included in the 2021 list of Classified Caves of DENR.

00:56 And it's the only one in Metro Manila.

00:58 [music]

01:02 It's a Class 2 cave.

01:03 Which means, a tour guide or experienced caver is required to explore.

01:09 We can see inside that there are hazardous portions.

01:13 Like, there's a possibility of falling rocks.

01:17 And then we have also the stalactites, cave formations inside this Lamesa Watershed.

01:24 There are porcelain pieces.

01:27 So, from the assessment of our partners,

01:30 it's possible that there are buried porcelains and other materials inside the cave.

01:35 [music]

01:40 Apog-

01:41 means limestone.

01:43 So, we can see literal limestone inside the Apugan Cave.

01:48 This is our second time to go caving.

01:50 Because we've already tried it in Japan, in Baguio.

01:53 But they said that the experience here in Apugan Cave is different.

01:57 So, let's go inside.

01:59 Let's go, G.

02:00 [music]

02:02 Ma'am Erisa is here.

02:04 She's a forester from DENR.

02:07 She will guide us inside the Apugan Cave.

02:11 [music]

02:12 So, we're now inside the Apugan Cave.

02:15 It's an easier entrance.

02:18 But, first, we have to go down.

02:22 And we have to avoid the steep rocks.

02:25 There, we have to go down.

02:26 So, be careful.

02:28 [music]

02:33 Some people came to us and welcomed us.

02:36 These are our best friends who came here.

02:39 Here in our cave, we have different kinds of inhabitants.

02:44 We have a whip spider.

02:47 [music]

02:49 On the left and right, we have stalactites or limestones on top of the cave

02:53 that are floating on top of us.

02:55 These stalactites,

02:57 you cannot touch them.

02:59 You can't touch them.

03:00 We'll just look at them.

03:02 Because if we touch them,

03:04 they say that we might die.

03:06 Because these rocks are alive.

03:08 So, that's what we're preserving.

03:11 [music]

03:14 So, there's no set time when they'll open this cave to the public.

03:20 Once they do that, this is definitely another cave that you guys should visit.

03:24 And you can check it on your bucket list.

03:28 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Martin Javier,

03:31 Changing the Game!
