  • It looks like a shallow green water lake when viewed from the mountainside road leading to the village of Luneta.
  • The proposed future site of the new engineered sanitary landfill of Baguio City, and Itogon, Benguet.
  • the reason why there are not stop on mining its because mining is the only way so the=at they can feed there family and give them a good life
  • the reason why they cant stop mining is because it is the only way of living and only work for people in that place.
  • They have no choice for the old mining company had cut off the water table that sustained water irrigation for farming... So for them to feed their families, send their children to school and give them a better life our grand fathers relied to mining which is a harder and hazardous job, because they can no longer farm the land... I would rather say that This proposed ESL will have a great effect to the future of the people here in antamok.. It is our only livelihood left if they take it away, all of us will suffer specially our children. No to This forking ESL.
