In Philippines, workers toil among hazards in compressor mining

On 29 December 2013 Center for Investigative Reporting reported:
Compressor mining originated as far back as the mid-1990s in Camarines Norte, an impoverished coastal province about 200 miles southeast of Manila. Divers dig down as much as 60 feet while breathing through a tube connected to a makeshift compressor, which often is made from a San Miguel beer keg. They dig in rice paddies, rivers, and bays, and stay underground for hours at a time. Their job is to fill bucket after bucket with soil for a fellow miner to haul to the surface. Some wear a snorkel mask, but many don't; they just keep their eyes shut. The job is hazardous, the returns are paltry, and they say their work is illegal. But that doesn't stop the miners -- mostly adults and some children -- from diving into the mud to find gold.
