A few months ago, I had the chance to go to a place I have long been wanting to see. I have seen a lot of videos of the place in youtube and on tv. All I hear are great things about the place. I am a sucker for places with beautiful beaches or fun water activities, so I am pretty sure PALAWAN is among those I should travel to.
We were in Palawan for 7 days and 5 out of those 7 days were spent touring around Puerto Princesa and El Nido. From Dapitan City, we took a flight to Manila then took another plane ride to Puerto Princesa. The next day, we rode a van going to Sabang, where we had the chance to see the underground river then head back to Puerto Princesa and roam around the City. The following day, we took a van for a five hour ride to El Nido. El Nido, oh El Nido. It's one heck of a place to see for beach lovers/mermaids. We did the Island Hopping for two days and it was the most worth it tour I've had by far. lol... You just have to see the place to appreciate it. There's a reason why some travel bloggers consider it as one of the best island, not just in the Philippines, but in the world.
I do prefer El Nido over Puerto Princesa. Maybe because I had a lot of fun in El Nido than in Puerto Princesa. El Nido was more of like an underdeveloped place, and don't get me wrong, I love it that way. The place did not have have that much commercial buildings and it will make you feel closer to nature. I seriously fell in love with the place that I want to go back if I have the chance to. It's just difficult not to be amazed by the place. And it's even more difficult to not be thankful for being able to visit the place and experience what the place had to offer.
Philippines, like I always say, is a very beautiful country. We may not be the richest country but this country is abundant with a lot of graces from God, and that is something Filipinos should be thankful for.
