The two were said to be inside a makeshift tunnel at sitio Panggubaan, Barangay Las Arenas in Pantukan, Compostela Valley at around four in the afternoon of May 2 when the tunnel caved in.

The two miners were trapped inside the tunnel for hours before their bodies were retrieved. It was not ascertained if there were other miners inside the tunnel when it collapsed. (BOT)
