Let Loose and Get Lost. Then Find Yourself in Palawan (Puerto Princesa Pt. 1)


The smell of the salty breeze, the rush of the waves at shore, my flowing Sunday dress and a good company. The heavens were as happy and as bright as what I felt inside. Finally, I was in paradise. Better yet, I was in Palawan.

A humungous slab of land situated on the West Philippine Sea, Palawan is an island that boasts and without a doubt delivers highly impressive natural attributes. And when I tell it like this to someone who has been to Palawan as well, it would sound more of a cliché than something that’s exaggerated. Believe me, I’m not the kind who is too fond of hyperbolic form of speech. But when I’m in such place that bestows white sand beaches, glistening waters, jaw-dropping land and rock formations, friendly locals and a clean environment, I’d be more than happy speak of it in a colorful manner.
