oh, you forgot to mention Bohol (specifically Panglao Island) -- good place, good food, a lot of things to discover and do. It's more like "the old and new" in one place. :)

Nice to see the Philippines being promoted, my father in law lives on Palawan and we visit every year, a very beautiful island and if like us you like scuba some fantastic diving.
I should say though Tubbataha which I'm told offers some of the worlds best diving is only accessible by liveaboard (about 12 hours from Puerto Princessa), hope to dive there one day.
However as I said some fantastic diving anyway around Palawan, I can strongly recommend Island Divers.
