Poverty in the town of Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte runs as deep as the network of mining shafts. Without an alternative source of living, the locals turn to small-scale mining, risking their lives diving down narrow shafts with only an air compressor to support their breathing, for very little pieces of gold. And worse, the children learn their fathers’ dangerous trade. In an effort to help their families survive, children as young as 11 years old regularly work in the mines for money that’s barely enough to keep them fed.
It’s a demon that repeatedly rears its ugly head, dropping shortly below the radar, but surfacing once more with ever terrifying dimensions – stories of children suffering from moments of fear that they will drown, fall and die in the pit of small-scale gold mines in this part of the country.
