25 Shocking Facts About Palawan Even Filipinos Don't Know
Palawan, Philippines is one of the most visited islands in the country — and one of the least understood. This video reveals 25 facts about Palawan that most Filipinos have never heard, from Puerto Princesa to El Nido to Coron.
Did you know Palawan has a prison with no walls, where convicted inmates farm the land and geography does the job of a fence? Or that its waters have produced two of the largest pearls ever found — one used as a good luck charm for ten years before anyone knew its value? Palawan's geography barely makes sense: it broke off mainland Asia millions of years ago, its wildlife is more closely related to Borneo than to the rest of the Philippines, and Puerto Princesa itself sits closer to Malaysia than to Manila.
In this video, we count down 25 facts about Palawan, Philippines — including the Tabon Caves and the Philippines' oldest human remains, the giraffes and zebras of Calauit Island, the underground river at Puerto Princesa, the Sulu Sea's trench-like depths, Iwahig Prison, Tubbataha Reef, and the shape that ties it all together.
Palawan isn't just the Philippines' most famous island for tourism — it's officially the country's Last Ecological Frontier, and this video explains why that title is running out of time.

I went there in 2014, and took a week at a raw food vegan yoga retreat in Puerto Princesa; then I rented a scooter and bombed up to El Nido through volcanic peaks and countless rainbows. The highway was brand new and I saw no one at all for the 9 hour ride.
The most gorgeous place I’ve been on Earth so far. ❤❤❤❤❤
