Kutawato Caves, Cave network beneath Pedro Colina Hill in Cotabato City, Philippines.
The limestone cave system extends approximately seven kilometers with four distinct entrances, featuring natural formations and underground waterways throughout its passages.
During World War II, these underground chambers functioned as an armory and garrison for local resistance forces against Japanese military operations.
The name originates from local language elements 'kuta' meaning fort and 'wato' meaning stone, which later influenced the city name Cotabato.
Visitors can access the cave system through four main entrances: Provincial Capitol Cave, Bagua Cave, Caverna Espanol, and Kuweba ni Satur.
This cave system stands as the only known underground network located within the proper boundaries of a Philippine city.
