About Palawan

The name “Palawan” – most probably - was given by the Chinese as far back as the 9th Century. They called it PA-LAO-YU, or “land of beautiful safe harbour”. Others believe it came from the Indian word “Palawans” meaning “Territory”. The popular believe is that “Palawan” is a corrupted form of the Spanish word “Para agua” because the main island’s shape resembles a closed umbrella.The limits of the Province are :

Busuanga island in the north

Agutaya group of islands northeast

Cagayancillo (who has not heard about Tubattaha Reef) in the east

Balabac island in the south

Spratly - Kalayaan in the West
Did you know that Palawan is made up of 1768 islands and is the second largest province of the Philippines (Cotabato is the largest) ? The length of the main island is 425km from tip to tip. The distance between extreme north and south of the island province is 650 km. The narrowest section of the main island is 8.5 km at Barrio Bahile in Puerto Princesa, the widest section is 40 km at Brooke's’Point in the south. During the drive to the Resort, which will take 90 minutes, you will see that a chain of tall mountain ranges runs through the entire length of the island, dividing it into two distinct areas called the east coast and the west coast. Princessa Holiday Resort is on the east coast facing the Sulu Sea.

I've never been to Palawan. We have always wanted to go there but we could not really fix our schedules for the vacation. Most of the time, we end up going to Boracay, which is an overrated but still a wonderful place.

Someday I'd like to go to Palawan and see for myself the beauty of the corals there and of course see the underwater caves.

I've learned that the mayor's leadership caused extensive reforestation and he has set up a policy of planting 100,000 tree samplings each year with the help of thousands of volunteers. People in Palawan are environmentally sensitive. Palawan has reaped several awards for carrying out various environmentally sensitive programs.
