By KARLOS MANLUPIG
PANTUKAN, Compostela Valley—A loud cracking sound followed by waves upon waves of clay, timber and rocks roused sleeping residents in a poor small-scale mining community in Sitios Diat 1 and 2 in Barangay Napnapan, Pantukan, Compostela Valley before dawn of Jan. 5.
Shortly after, more than 50 houses would be buried in rubble, leaving residents who survived the nature’s onslaught in shock.
