No one would ever think that a historical underground tunnel can be found inside the Rizal Technological University Campus in Mandaluyong City. I, for myself, marveled upon seeing this right in front of my very eyes. A piece of GEM in the Philippine World War II history!
According to some University Staff that I've spoke with, the tunnel dates back during the World War II. No one has ever dared to explore its whole stretch because of fear of snakes and other unknown species that might be thriving there.
Currently, the entrance of the tunnel is being used as a "room" for commercial and experimental cultivation of different mushroom species. You see, even places with a heart-rending past can be transformed into a life-generating "machinery." The very minimal light and relative warmth inside the tunnel makes it conducive for a fruitful mushroom cultivation.
If anyone wishes to learn mushroom cultivation and have a glimpse of the historical tunnel, you may reach out to the University's Biological Sciences Department and look for Prof. Medalla.
