    Is there a fill aggregate in Duma called anapog?
    I have been told that Cebu is the only place in the Philippines that has it and I really doubt that is true.
    In case it is called something else there, it is a sort of yellowish sandstone/limestone mix and when crushed, it turns into a powdery mess.
    I would also like a price per cubic meter if it can be had.

    Just be aware that the anapog can sometimes be found here, but it is not the same quality as Cebu. The limestone content is much lower in Negros according to the guy I bought my fill from.

    Cebu anapog seems to have some clay mixed into it as it is yellow/orange rather than white, I am not sure but I think there is sand or something like sand stone in it as well.
    If anyone knows the price per cubic meter, I would be glad to know what it is there.
    I am wanting to start preparing a price list before I do any work and anapog will be an important material on this job.
    What I intend to do is to rinse any clay out of it and try to use it to build a 4" x 4' x 8' fence section to test it as a less expensive material.
    If it holds up as I hope it will, I may build my fence out of it.
    If it is not strong enough, at least I would have tried and only a cubic meter of it will have been wasted which can be smashed and dumped on the driveway.
