One thing is clear: Every day, the hills in Huluga are getting smaller. Words spent for the protection of Huluga since 1999 have become an awesomely huge mountain.

I say, let wounded pride and hurt ego give way to a higher goal, i.e., a comprehensive, unbiased understanding of Cagayan's past. Never mind who should take credit for which discovery. The truth is far too important to be under the wings of one person or group. By all means, challenge each other's findings (obtained systematically and legally), bash yourselves with proofs and counterproofs in academic journals and conferences, but spare everyone else the intrigue and the behind the scenes drama (who got support, funding, etc.). Archaeology is not show business nor politics. Let this turf war be over. The only losers in this squabble are the Filipino people, specifically the Kagay-anons.
