Cave Exploration : Bongon Tabuelan Cebu [Day 1]The Municipality of Tabuelan is a 5th class city in the province of Cebu , Philippines . According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 19,373 people in 4,153 households. 
Just last Monday, I got a chance to join a group of cavers here in Cebu to explore the caves in Barangay Bongon. Barangay Bongon is one of the 12 Barangays situated in Tabuelan Cebu. 
Cave Exploration : Bongon Tabuelan Cebu [Day 1]Kana-an Cave was the second cave we visited upon arriving in the barangay. Unfortunately most parts of the cave were damaged by mining.

Cave Exploration : Bongon Tabuelan Cebu [Day 1]We were welcome by this beautiful sunset on our way to Timba-on Cave. I just can't ignore this beauty and let it pass. So I grab my cam and take a photo of it. 
Cave Exploration : Bongon Tabuelan Cebu [Day 1]The Timba-on Cave was the last cave we visited on our first day of caving. It has two entrance,  the 1st entrance[the 1st picture above] is seen at the side of the well-like structure [2nd picture above]. This well-like structure are also another entrance to the cave but because local people there are getting water from this opening, they decided to pass through the 1st entrance in the left. I don't know what was in there because I wasn't able to go down.

Our first day was just awesome. How much more on our 2nd day. Day 2 of our caving exploration will be on my next post. See yah!
