it was some time 1995 when were in an expedition for treasure hunting in a remote beach area in Tubajon Laguindingan Mis.or... it was night then when one of our uncle called us to go with him to help him scoop sands from the dig up holes.. the only lights we have where from the gen set available and the surrounding noise of the sea shores waves..the humming of insects and the sound of the jack hammer.

Suddenly the jack hammer operator scream and was very afraid..a fountain of water came out and everyone was in a hurry looking for something to seal it. Then the other people was in hurry mixing cement to cover the hole and seal.


Then they transferred to other side and beggin digging.. A few minutes a smoke like substance like air was coming out from the soil with rocks.. Everyone was so afraid if they might get killed or poisoned. Then the leader of the gang immediately called one of his company to pour the cement to the holes..We then immediately cover the dug holes with sands and dirt then left the area and abandoned the dug holes.

The leader of the gang was from Davao..He then told us it was a natural gas because the area is near to the mangrove forest where there are plenty of marsh land before.At the neighboring town is Alubijid where the vast tracks of fishpond are located. He told us when there are black muds there is a possibility that natural gas exist..We wonder if it is true..bu how come we immediately ran away from the holes and was very afraid of that incident??


The place has a lot of coral stones and was once an ocean part ..how could it contain suspected natural gas deposits
