ALABEL, Sarangani (April 16, 2008) - The National Museum team from Manila pays a courtesy call on Vice Governor Steve Chiongbian Solon (extreme right) at the Capitol in Alabel Tuesday, April 15, before proceeding to Maitum. The team composed of (from right) archaeologist Nida Cuevas, team leader; with members Eduardo Sarmiento, museum researcher II of the Cultural Properties Division; scientific illustrator Eduardo Bersamira; Alexandra de Leon, museum researcher I; and Jonathan Jacar, Sr., museum technician (not in photo) will do a preliminary study and assessment of the newly-discovered cave in barangay Pinol, Maitum, Sarangani.
