00:00The sound of the horns of the cars is covering the wide road and tall buildings.
00:07It's considered as the center of Quezon City.
00:10But who would have thought that this modern and big city is hiding a hidden cave?
00:19Is it possible to have a cave in the middle of Quezon City?
00:23I don't think so because the houses here are already full.
00:27I think it's impossible, ma'am.
00:29As far as I know, there are only caves in the mountains.
00:33Many of our Wanderers do not believe, but as the saying goes, to see is to believe.
00:39To prove that there is a cave in Quezon City,
00:44I will be accompanied by our returning Wanderer and our weather presenter, Anjo.
00:48It's perfect because he is also fond of nature adventures.
00:51Before you reach the cave of Apugan, you need to trek for 20 to 30 minutes.
01:01It looks like we will be able to exercise in this cave hunting, Anjo.
01:05But for example, sir, those who will go there are not guided.
01:11Is that advisable or is it allowed?
01:14No, ma'am.
01:15It should be guided since there is a classification of caves.
01:20Ah, so when you say class, what does that mean?
01:23There are portions that are hazardous inside.
01:26There are fragile cave formations.
01:29Even in the city, it is noticeable that the place is still full.
01:34That's why in Bungag, you will not be surprised that you are in the city.
01:38Here, you also have a trail that you can follow.
01:41But for you not to get lost, it's better to have a tour guide with you.
01:52Water break, ma'am.
01:55After a 20-minute walk, we arrived at Apugan Cave.
01:59And it's true, it's possible to find a cave in the middle of the city.
02:04Apugan Cave came from the word Apug, which means limestone.
02:09This is also the only cave that can be found in Quezon City.
02:15We are now at the door of Apugan Cave.
02:17That's the door that we will enter.
02:20But Kirk said that it's only 100 square meters that you can walk inside.
02:27So if we are going to enter now, maybe in 5 minutes, we will be out.
02:32Let's make it 10, ma'am.
02:34I feel like we are in a remote place.
02:37But no, we are just here.
02:43As soon as you enter the cave, you will see the stones that you will pass through.
02:46It's similar to these, that's why others need to be careful.
02:52So, we are now here at this side of the cave.
02:56Kirk is there.
02:57It's beautiful.
02:58Kirk is there, wow.
03:00These are the windows, ma'am.
03:03There's a room here, ma'am.
03:04There's a room?
03:05Do you want to go inside, ma'am?
03:10They are coming out, ma'am.
03:13It's too hot in here.
03:15We are not making it hot.
03:22But in the middle of the cave, it will slowly light up.
03:28Here, you can see hundreds of rock formations and limestone.
03:33We are more interested in the living rock formations.
03:37And it's still shaking.
03:40That's why the DNR strictly prohibits the use of it.
03:44To preserve its natural beauty.
03:48But our team is more surprised by the words and images engraved on some parts of the wall inside the cave.
03:56Because some were written in 1954.
04:02What I can say about our experience, ma'am, is that it's fun when you're with your friends.
04:07That's the number one.
04:08Because no matter how tiring it is, you'll enjoy it.
04:11You'll have fun.
04:12But unlike the trekking we did earlier, which was supposed to be 30 minutes,
04:16you made it 15 minutes, ma'am.
04:18This is fun.
04:19Actually, this is for, for example, going on a boat ride.
04:22That's what you want for different activities, right?
04:27Yes, not only malls, but also beaches.
04:30So this is a good activity.
04:32Of course, you should ask the members of the DNR.
04:36But this is educational.
04:37Yes.
04:38Educational and nature-tripping.
04:41Ma'am, what are we waiting for?
04:42Let's go back.
04:43Let's go home.
04:44Let's go.
04:45We don't have a water break right now.
04:46Really?
04:48Ma'am.
04:50As of now, it's not open to the public.
04:53But we assist in educational tours and studies.
04:56So if that's the case, they can request in the office.
04:59We'll schedule them and we'll accompany them.
