The underground and underwater views cannot be displayed in this album, yet they are truly what I enjoyed most. =)

Thanks to Auntie Cita and the rest of the clan in Puerto Princesa for the hospitality and warmth we felt during our stay.
Also to Ate Madette and Kuya Sonny for the tips and support.
To the brothers and sisters of Calero, Malvar and Sta. Monica Congregation, we look forward to being with you again.
To Kuya Danny and his family, we will surely miss you. Belated happy anniversary po sa inyo.

Being a certified beach bum is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. =)

Certainly, I will go back to Palawan (especially El Nido). :)
