    Great exposure on an event that is barely retold outside of Cumaca. I have a personal connection to this story and village as my maternal great-grandfather, Innis Pamphille, raised his family there. His son, my great-uncle, Odin Pamphille, was one of the brave rescuers who retrieved the body of one of the divers. Good work on bringing a somewhat forgotten history back to life.

      @Husiff  Před 2 lety

      Hey, good morning, thank you for sharing your history, its truly appreciated, i would of like to meet Mr Innis Pamphille when i was doing this video. I wonder if he had went into the water.
      I also wonder if this entire family leave as well.

    Caves to me are sacred and spiritual. We could meditate in a cave and reach known and unknown higher Divine dimensions of great power.
    Husiff if I knew you and lived there where you are I would have gone with you.
    When the oppressors went to that cave they went for their own greed and negative plans but it didn't work and would never work. That cave to me seems to be of peace and benevolence.
    This is priceless thanks for sharing!!!

    Nah, I have to check that cave one day. I does really see these birds in the night on the road by us and they only come out in the night. I wonder if there is a cave close by somewhere in the forest on this side 🤔

      It could be that it have some living in a cave somewhere on your end, they only come out at night like bats. I really use to wonder wht kinder bird is that always in the road at night. Well yeah its an oil bird.

      Hmmm, relationship problems, I feel you, most i could say is, time waits on no one, grab your stuff and get out there, make a way, you responsible for you. What i am doing is free, just do it. I could guide you if you want.
