TOURISM is a major industry in the Mt. Province town of Sagada. RICHARD BALONGLONG\/INQUIRER NORTHERN LUZON<\/p><\/div>\n

BAGUIO CITY \u2013 The popular Sagada Caves were closed on Monday to allow rescue teams to search for a missing tourist guide who was swept by tunnel waters on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n

Roderick Malecdan was among 7 guides who explored Victoria Cave at Sitio Maduto in Angkeling village in Sagada town, Mountain Province when Malecdan and two others were pulled by a discharge of water further into the tunnel at 6:45 p.m.<\/p>\n\n

Four of the guides managed to exit fromthe cave unscathed. The two others were rescued by volunteers and the police, but rescue teams could not locate Malecdan.<\/p>\n\n

Sagada Mayor James Pooten suspended all caving activities to allow for the search to proceed unhampered.<\/p>\n\n

The elevation of water inside the cave had been high, making the search difficult, said Robert Pangod, Sagada tourism officer. JE\/rga<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
