                    [Title] => Mining firm: Vizcaya caves will be spared
                    [Summary] => BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya — An Australian mining firm assured the public yesterday that the Alayan cave system in Kasibu town will not be ruined by its mining operations, contrary to forecasts made by local environmental groups.


"Destroying a geological wonder and potential tourist destination like the Alayan caves system is not in our program," Australasian Philippines Mining Inc. (APMI) chairman Joey Leviste said.

The cave network is known for its colorful stalactites and stalagmites, which other caves in the Philippines do not have.
