Palawan is one of the most attractive regions of the country. Not only the 1770 small islands, but also the main island Palawan! Beautiful landscapes on this 425 km long and 40 km width Island are like a PARADISE ON EARTH. For nature lovers and adventurer, the coasts on the west side of the island with their rock formation and the underwater river near Sabang, are genuine attractions. Palawan Island distinguishes itself also by its tropical forests.
The name “Palawan” most probably was given by the Chinese as far back as the 9th Century. They called it PA-LAO-YU, or “land of beautiful safe harbour”. Others believe it came from the Indian word “Palawans” meaning “Territory”. The popular believe is that “Palawan” is a corrupted form of the Spanish word “Para agua” because the main island’s shape resembles a closed umbrella.The limits of the Province are.
