No Treasure Hunting activity in the city

The city government shall halt all treasure hunting activities


of individuals or groups in any part of the city to ensure the
appropriate preservation and protection of the city’s state of the
environment.
Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong said under his watch, no treasure hunting
activity will be conducted in any part of the city as this has serious
negative impact to the state of the city’s environment, especially the
stability of the dug-up areas.
Earlier, the National Museum issued a treasure hunting permit to a
certain Eliseo Cabusao to conduct treasure hunting within the vicinity of
the Baguio Convention Center (BCC) and the University of the
Philippines College Baguio (UPCB) to recover a huge volume of gold bars
allegedly left by the members of the Japanese Imperial Army in the
said area based on the survey previously conducted in the said place.
The former members of the City Council gave consent to the treasure
hunting activity for a limited period of 60 days and mandated the
treasure hunter to restore any damaged area to its original state aside
from posting a bond to the city government to answer for any damages
that will be inflicted by the activity to the area that have to be dug up.
