The Last Ecological Frontier in the Philippines

The Last Ecological Frontier in the Philippines
Palawan is a narrow archipelago of 1,700 islands on the western border of the Philippines. Its geographical location makes it seem remote from the rest of the country, and in fact, some of its southern islands are closer to Malaysia than to other provinces. The waters of the South China Sea lap the western shores of Palawan, while the Sulu Sea hugs its eastern coast. With a land area of nearly 1.5 million hectares, Palawan is the country’s largest province. Its irregular coastline stretches almost 2,000 kilometers long, indented by numerous coves and bays. Highlands and rolling terrain covered with lush forests create a cool and scenic landscape. Except for northern towns, which are occasionally visited by storms, Palawan is generally typhoon-free. Warm weather prevails from March to May, while the coolest months are from December to February. Heavy rainfall is usually experienced in July and August, often accompanied by the southwest monsoon.

A Property Which Can Be Developed

The potential of Palawan (Philippines) as a prime tourist destination has long been realized, Palawan being recognized as the Last Ecological Frontier in the Philippines and hosting the wonderful scenic and historical spots of Amanpulo, El Nido Palawan, St Paul's Subterranean Underground River, Tabon Caves, The Crocodile Farm, The Iwahig Prison and Penal Colony, The Butterfly Garden, Calauit Islands, however, while most investments have been directed towards Northern Palawan, the rich ecotourism resources of the south have been left untapped.

Southern Palawan, particularly Narr, is endowed with natural tourist attractions, which include the Malatgao area, encompassing a broad spectrum of special interests. It is a 1st class municipality in the province of Palawan, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 56,845 people in 11,521 households.
