I just came back from a two-week trip to Palawan and I was impressed with how green the scenery was from Puerto to El Nido. I would be back later this year
for a more up close and personal encounter with the wildlife :) (They closed the Jungle Trail in the Underground River so I did not manage to get more face time with them.)

As to the Tubbataha Reef, we could only hope that both governments would control the damage asap. Coral reefs take centuries to grow to considerable size so it’s critical that further damage be prevented.

-so true! There are many virgin places in Palawan that have their natural forms intact. Calamian Islands and Miniloc in El Nido are some examples.

It’s just distressing that Tubbataha Reef had been damaged recently. Hope National Geographic wouldn’t put Palawan out of their list because of that incident. Government efforts to preserve the natural resources is amazing, but I think they have to exert more pressure to make US accountable for the wide-spread reef damage.
