QC’s ‘gold river’ attracts more prospectors

The growing number of “prospectors” flocking to the Dario River in Barangay Del Monte in Quezon City worries local authorities, who fear that gold fever could result in peace and order problems in the largely slum neighborhood.

Scores of people drawn by the prospect of striking it rich have been streaming to the river after gold nuggets were reportedly found along its banks two weeks ago.
