Experiencing Puerto Princesa, Palawan
Out of all the places I’ve ever been to in the Philippines, this one’s my favorite. It is so clean and it makes me proud that such a place exists in my country. It gives me some sort of hope that we can still be as clean as Singapore, if we wanted to.
We went on a tour and met a lot of nice people. It reminded me of when I was in Thailand – foreigners everywhere, accommodating tour guides, smiles, sand, and beach! We stayed at a beachfront resort, though the beach wasn’t really swimmable, the overall service was okay. Their breakfast was a disappointment, and their restaurant didn’t have as much options. The good thing was, Puerto Princesa was a place full of restaurants with good food. And our resort was accommodating enough to drive their guests to the town proper when they want to go out. We tried Kalui and Balinsasayaw which were both great.
Here are some photos from the tour:
The bar at the resort restaurant.

A flower that our tour van had to stop for so we could take pictures. I don’t know what kind of flower this is but took a picture anyways.
