BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines – The decomposing bodies of four suspected treasure hunters, two of them minors, were recovered on Tuesday or three days after they were reportedly trapped in a tunnel in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

Reports identified the victims as Eduard Asuncion, 46; Jefrey Binoha, 17; and Gilbert Asuncion, 16, all from Lasam town; and Christopher Valencia, 18, of Alcala town.

The victims, according to reports, were digging a tunnel in a 10-hectare private lot supposedly to hunt for treasures when the tunnel caved in last Saturday night. A lawyer reportedly owns the lot.
