Sinkhole Also A Wake-up Call For Officials
CEBU CITY – Cornelia Tines looks out the window every night, unable to sleep since the day a sinkhole appeared on a farm 50 meters away from their house. Her fears grew when a pool of water appeared at the bottom of the hole.
“Ang akong kahadlukan kay basin musulbong ang tubig (What I fear is that the water may rise),” said the 44-year-old mother of six. Their house is located on a hill overlooking the farm.
“Kung molunop, usa gyud me sa akong pamilya sa mangamatay. Simbako lang (If a flash flood occurs, I and my family will be among the casualties. God forbid).”
On Monday, geologist Abraham Lucero Jr. of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) Central Visayas inspected the sinkhole in Barangay Camboang, Dumanjug town.
