On the last week of November 2021, we went on an underground visit to Lepanto Consolidated Mining Company's (Lepanto) Nayak mine. Lepanto is located in Mankayan, Benguet. My first job as a geologist was with Lepanto in 2005. But it was my first time visiting the Lepanto underground mine in Nayak. I never had the chance to see the underground because women were not allowed to go underground back then.
They used to have a superstitious belief that a "diwata" (goddess) is guarding it and that she gets jealous when a woman visits the underground. They say that the diwata causes an accident when she gets jealous. And then I think a year or two after I resigned from Lepanto, they performed a ritual underground. Since then women were already allowed to go underground.
I prepared this video to give you an idea of what the underground looks like. For more details about our mine visit, check out this link: iwentanyways.c...
