We took advantage of the long holy week vacation by having a break at Puerto Princesa, Palawan last April 6 to 9, 2007. This is my 1st domestic flight and so are my sister's and ate Jacques's. So you could imagine how excited we are from the time the booking was confirmed by our travel agent.
I always love to travel but this vacation has been the most memorable for me so far. I think I have found myself a retiring place. Hahahahah! It is still 20 years or more so I could still dream on of owning an island at palawan. :)
Anyway, the next entries will give you a glimpse of what I love about the place.
Breath-taking sights, white sand beaches, trees, rainforests, beautiful islands, mangrove swamps, limestone cliffs, hilly terrain, wildlife, rivers - No wonder it is dubbed as the Last Frontier.
The place seldom encounters typhoons and earthquake so it is practically safe the whole round year and of course, has a stable production of crops. It makes the cost of living very low! Just imagine lobsters, crabs, prawns, fish at a very low prices! Wow! Palawan is really blessed.
When I saw the place, I was convinced that blue, green and red are the favorite colors of God. Palawan is clothed with green trees (especially mangroves), blue and green waves, and red soil! And people here knows how to value God's gifts! Palawan is the cleanest city for 4 consecutive years (1992 - 1996) and now second to Marikini (still not bad).
They have an abundant sea and gain most from agriculture and tourism. With a population of only 200,000, they only consume 10% of their sea harvest, 70% is brought to Manila, and 10% is exported.
Isn't it a nice place to retire!? Wow!
