A couple quarrying limestone died when boulders fell on them in Barangay Kal-anan, Tabogon, northern Cebu shortly before noon last Monday, two days after a fatal mining accident in the southern town of Dalaguete.
The couple left 11 children behind. Democrito Pelayo, 58, and his wife Angeles, 44, were quarrying a portion of a hill made of limestone when the boulders buried them at 11:30 a.m.
The hill is about 40 meters away from their house, which is some three kilometers away from the town proper.
