A hidden cave has been discovered in Barangay Dansolihon, Cagayan de Oro City. Photos shared on Facebook by Lyn Dagsangan have revealed that the cave was accidentally found during an ongoing road widening project related to the new bridge construction in Santa Cruz area of the barangay. Some residents are seen exploring the cave, marvelling at its untouched natural beauty and spectacular formations of stalactites and stalagmites.
