HINAGDANAN CAVE

HINAGDANAN CAVE


There's a long standing superstitious belief in the Philippines that caverns are inhabited by spirits. Enchanted spaces therefore are taboo. No wonder then that caves like this one are well preserved. Nowadays, modernity is catching up and swimming in this underground pool is no longer rare- quite a respite especially to the discomfitting humidity inside the cave. The hope is that people still remain watchful and respectful of nature lest the enchantment becomes lost forever.
