Diwata), work almost 24 hours each day under extreme conditons inside the tunnels. Gold was discovered recently in this mountain, in 1983. Following the discovery, thousands of people flocked to the mountain, digging tunnels, and makeshift houses above ground. More than 60,000 people inhabit the area.
