Balincaguin Conservancy Grotto

Serveral BC members have recently joined and started posting their cave photos on the NSS OnlineCavers.com website. The site is a social network for cavers (NSS membership is not required to register) worldwide supporting safe caving and cave conservation.

It currently has 1,700 members, 25,000 caving photos, 430 photo albums and caving videos. At this site you can virtually go caving at caves all over the world; great for us armchair cavers!

LGU-Mabini participated in the provincial tourism photo exhibit by submitting eight photos taken by BC members. Along with photos of the major tourist destinations in Pangasinan, six photos of Mabini's caves were selected for the exhibit by the Provincial Tourism Officer. The exhibit opened 19 September 2009 at SM Rosales and will last for one week.

From the President's Corner of the Newsletter of Rotary Club of Urdaneta East (RCUE):

Our club's effort to have a well balanced and universal service to humanity was evidenced by joining again to a worthwhile activity of preserving and conserving our nature - the Mother Earth thru the 2nd Cacupangan Cave Clean-up Campaign last September 19, 2009.

Balincaguin Conservancy (BC) will hold its 2nd Cacupangan Cave Cleanup Campaign (CCCC) on 19 September 2009, which will concur with the 24th International Coastal Cleanup by the Ocean Conservancy. While other municipalities and cities will participate by cleaning their shoreline and since Mabini is landlocked without a shoreline, we will again target the underground stream in the Cacupangan Cave System in Brgy.
