Photo credit: mine may2015 I want to share a photo of a very scenic view of Palawan. Last year, we had the privilege to explore the beauty of my country and set ourselves to a new adventure. Puerto Princesa is such a nice place, the capital of Palawan. This is the busiest area since here you can find malls, hotels, restaurants and gift shop. In the picture is the starting point of subterranean river national park and a few minutes walk, we arrived at the starting point for the underground river. Such a magnificent place for me.

@rakski I wish I can go there one day. Only thing that would put me off is the heat.

@gudheart I hope so too, yes this is a tropical country so heat is inevitable. But you can still go heard just avoid, November to to February if I may suggest since the weather is a little bit cool and there is also no rain.

Palawan is a Paradise. It has so much to offer. We were at El Nido Beach last year and it was truly an enchanting place.

@rakski It is so beautiful but the six hour rough road to that place is just so difficult.

It's a paradaise and beautiful but I've heard and watch that the Chinese fishermen and it's navy are getting to close over there. I hope they set up a philippine military base there, it's too unprotected.

@cacay1 sorry to reply only now. I was away for quite sometime and now I am trying to revisit my posts one by one. I always dream of going to other countries but maybe it is not yet time for me. When I started going to Sagada at 1998, I swear to myself that I will try my best to see and know my country own beauty.
