coastlines that make excellent harbors. Quite fittingly, on its
almost 1.5 hectare land area stands Nature in all her virgin-glory

Palawan is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colorful marine life, hence, the island province has been declared a nature sanctuary.

Travel Tips and General Informations
Make a Wind Chime
The sound of a wind time in the summer breeze is very relaxing and making one can
occupy the children for an afternoon. The materials you will need are items that will
make a pretty sound when they rub against each other (shells, beads, or even old
utensils), something sharp to poke a hole through each item, a hammer, string, a round
item (a lid or piece of wood) for the top, and a hook to hang the wind chime.
Once all the items are collected the adult should use the hammer and sharp object (such
as a screwdriver) to make a hole in each object. If the item is too hard to make a hole in
(like a rock) tie string around it several times until it is secured. After the holes are made
tie a piece of string to each item. Make a Wind Chime Motivational & Inspirational Quotes:
To travel is to take a journey into yourself. Danny Kaye
There comes a moment on a journey when something sweet, something irresistible and charming as wine raised to thirsty lips, wells up in the travellers being. Patrick MacGill

Palawan is the country's largest
province not only in terms of land area but also of natural resources,
which attract local and foreign visitors of either business or
tourism inclinations. Its stunning, pristine beauty is unsurpassed.
Palawan boasts of exotic flora and fauna like the mouse deer
and the scaly ant eater are found nowhere else. Palawan waters
are among the best in the world not only for diving but also
for fishing. Many Manila-based fishing operations have built
fortunes from the flourishing fish trade, supplying Manila other
parts of Luzon with produce from the sea.
Today, the number of leisure
travellers to the province continues to grow, especially those
drawn to underwater sports, mountain-trekking and exploring.
A Japanese and Filipino partnership have even built a resort
in El Nido, famous for it's cliffs which house the swift, a bird
species that makes the famous edible bird's nest. Anthropologists
also found the biggest and best known skull of the oldest Filipino,
the Tabon Man (approximately 22,000 years old), high up in the
cool recess of Tabon Cave Quezon 157 kilometers southeast of
the provincial capital.
A diver's paradise, Palawan has
miles of sub-surface coral and rainbow reef walls which surround
the costs and coves teeming with a multitude of marine life.
The province also boasts of extraordinary scenic wonders like
the St. Paul Underground River, the Calauit Wildlife Sanctuary
and the Honda Bay Islands, among others.
Palawan engages in the nation's
most intensive environmental program. The provincial government
has mobilized its citizenry to actively participate in various
environment conservation and protection programs such as : the "Bantay Gubat" for forests and the "Bantay Dagat" for the seas.
