Kuks and I booked a flight going to Palawan for a short vacation. It was always one my dreams to visit Palawan. Hearing about it's finest beaches made me more excited. I remember, years back, I was planning a trip with my brother because he has a classmate who lives there (hehe... user!). But we never get to plan it seriously as we both know we can't afford the plane tickets. So now that I was able to realize that dream... it is more special because I get to explore the Philippine's Last Frontier (or at least parts of it) with my Kuks na Kuks.

Before I post our trip's photos and side stories, I am leaving you with some facts (some lifted from Wikipedia) about Palawan which may encourage you to visit it soon, too!
~*~ Palawan is an island province located in the MIMAROPA region. It's capital is Puerto Princesa City, and it is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of jurisdiction.
~*~ It is approximately 586 kilometers southwest of Manila, between Mindoro Island on the north, Borneo on the south, China Sea on the west, and Sulu Sea on the east.
~*~ It is composed of the long and narrow Palawan Island, plus a number of other smaller islands surrounding the main island. The Calamianes Group of Islands, to the northwest consists of Busuanga Island, Culion Island, and Coron Island.
~*~ The disputed Spratly Islands, located a few hundred kilometers to the west is considered part of Palawan by the Philippines, and is locally called the Kalayan Group of Islands.
~*~ The island province of Palawan has been declared as a nature sanctuary of the world, and for good reason. It is wrapped in a mantel of rainforests, outstanding dive sites, majestic mountains, primeval caves, and pristine beaches. It is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colorful marine life.
~*~ There are 52 dialects in the province, with Tagalog being spoken by 28 percent of the people. Other major dialects are Cuyunin (26.27 percent), Pinalwan (11.08 percent), and Ilongo (9.6 percent).
~*~ Palawan is famous for Calauit Game Preserve & Wildlife Sanctuary, Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center, Tubbattaha Reefs, Coron Bay, Coron Reefs, Busuanga, El Nido Marine Reserve, Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, Honda Bay, Puerto de Sta. Isabel, Cuyo Fort, and the Tabon Caves to name a few.
~*~ The fastest way to reach Palawan is by plane.
