Puerto Princesa is situated in the island of Palawan which can be reached by 45minutes domestic flight from manila. It can best be described as just another Filipino backwater, a gateway to the resorts on the island, really. For an interesting day trip, don't miss the St. Paul Subterranean River National Park, a unique underwater river and a fascinating natural resource worth the trouble. However, it's a very rugged and a long day trip.
Puerto Princesa was named after Princess Eulalia of Spain who was daughter of the reigning monarch, Queen Isabella II. The city is 106 kilometers long and is the largest city in the Philippines. It is a melting pot of many cultures. Total inhabitants number around 175,000. The predominant local tounge is Cuyumo. However Tagolog, Visayan and English are widely spoken.

Palawan is also known for having good fresh seafood, so this is another new and good destinations for people likes me who doesn’t take the non-halal meals. Friends called me “CrabMan”. Well I don’t care, as long my tummy is full.

So Guys & gals, fasten yr seat belt, and enjoy the show!!
