Since the new 7 wonders of nature’s first phase was launched last year, it is already my advocate to campaign and vote for some of the Philippines’ most beautiful places to be a part of new 7 wonders of nature since this blog is all about travel, tourism and beautiful places in the country. On this second phase campaign, the qualifiers are over. Starting today, we can now vote for our only single nominated beautiful place in new 7 wonders.
Only the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River in Sabang Palawan made it to the list. Hopefully with your vote here we could have the big chance at least to be part of it compared to the four places in the Philippines that were nominated last year in the first phase.
According to PalawanInfo.com
“The Subterranean Underground River in the River National Park is one of the most visited places among tourists. Who will not get mesmerized by the beauty and splendor found from this amazing underground river? Most tourists express their description of the Subterranean Underground River to be an enchanting place. The underground river is an excellent scenic spot to visit. The resembling religious-like images of stalactites and stalagmites are all breathtaking views. Cove dwelling faunas also dwell in the underground rivers and are eye catchers as well.
The cool and calm waters in Palawan’s Subterranean Underground River give leeway for a wonderful banca trip down to the underground river. The river winds around limestone caverns that were carved from the precipitated waters. The underground river directly flows to the sea subjecting its cavern entrance to tidal influences. The underground river, by virtue of Proclamation No. 835 on March 26, 1971 was officially declared to be called as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park and is now included as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The rocky mountain that comprises the land forms of the park is covered with lush tropical rain forests. A small portion of the park is vegetated with karst limestone. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is also popular with other tourist sites aside from the famous underground river. Worth mentioning are the wildlife preservation park, the endangered Palawan mousedeer and famous peacock pheasants. The Philippines Cockatoo are also found here.”

I haven’t been to Palawan but based on the stories I’ve heard and the majestic photos I’ve seen, I’ve decided to vote for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.
I was previously thinking of voting for Mt. Mayon.
