Last year, a man was buried alive in Puerto Galera and it wasn't due to accident --- it was for a cause.

| Russ, who happened to be my SSEAYP batchmate (He also led most of our cultural performances in 2012), was buried in the ground for about 6 hours while wrapped in indigenous fabric and plastic. His performance and art installation in one entitled "Don't Feed the Natives" made headlines in the Philippines and caught the attention of many Malasimbo goers. |  Bugkos Lahi and other SSEAYP batchmates |
