Palawan is World's Best Island

Palawan was voted as Travel+Leisure's World's Best Island for 2013. I was recently in Coron, Busuanga- one of the many islands in Palawan with some of my best friends from Pagcor and with my best brother, Mark. Because anything less than the best is a felony. (Even if it was Vanilla Ice who sang that.)

ah Coron! Magnifique!

Clarity!

Bulungan Beach. They say that a witchdoctor still lives here.

ofcourse you know where it's at - Kayangan Lake!

There’s more to it than being the country’s last ecological frontier or the Underground River making it to the elite Wonders of Nature list. For instance, Busuanga Airport, the gateway to Coron is smacked in the mountain ranges of the Yulo King Ranch. It was actually a cattle ranch/reserve named after one of former President Marcos’ closest friends, Mr. Yulo. It was put up in 1976 and cows were placed for dispersal in the 140,000 sqms piece of land.
