Cebuanang Palaweña

This content is pretty emotionally disturbing. [sigh]  It's been a week now (as of this writing) since super typhoon Odette had a last full show in Palawan, particularly in the municipalities of San Vicente, Roxas, Aracelli, Dumaran, Cuyo, and Cagayancillo and Puerto Princesa City, before going to the West Philippine  Sea, but the horror and havoc it brought to many people including me have left us anxious and sad. And that nightmare will be remembered forever.  I wasn't able to sleep on the 16th of December when typhoon Odette hit Cebu; one of my brothers who still worked that day got stranded in Naga City (last thing I knew, the building where he and other people hid from the flying debris was also slowly wrecked as we talked over the phone) and no updates from my parents that whole day. Then, Odette finally arrived in the mainland of Palawan the next day (December 17, 2021). Morning palang gani, it was already slowly destroying the covered court...

Puerto Princesa City remains the main gateway to the different wonders in the province of Palawan and a beautiful city which offers entertainment and natural attractions that can surely entice every individual who loves either indoor or outdoor activities. For me, here are the best things to do/to visit in this city: #1 Exploring "Hundred Caves"  This wonderful attraction hasn't been opened long for tourists, thus, this might be unknown yet to many, but it was opened before pandemic. It takes approximately 25 minutes by tricycle from Sabang port (where the Underground River tour starts) or more or less 1 1/2 hr from the city proper. It is very close to "Ugong Rock" (see #3).  I love the Underground River, but I love this more!☺️  Fried chicken pls. Leg part. 😊 Exploring this place for an hour and thirty minutes was definitely awesome! 😍 #2 Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park or commonly k...
