[Postcards from Manila] #300 An Underground River

[Bobby Wong Jr.]

If you're wondering why a fleet of boats is moored just off shore... 

Day-in and day-out, they haul tourists by the busting boatload to the entrance of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a river of seawater that wind for kilometers inside a cave by the sea. After transferring onto smaller boats, tourists can take a short ride along its explored outer chambers. There are numerous domes, waterfalls, and many deeper caverns that remain uncharted, a true UNESCO World Heritage marvel that put our country on the map. Enjoy.

(Pixel-peepers: When visiting an iconic destination, it's always a challenge to capture unique photographs because every inch may already have been photographed to death. But walk around and you may just find yourself an untold story.)

But wait, there's more...

For those who've inquired about buying prints of my postcards, you may purchase them directly from master printmaker Arnel Murillo (murill...@yahoo.com), one of the country's foremost fine-art printmakers.  Arnel uses archival inks and museum-grade paper to ensure his prints will not fade. You will not be disappointed. (All my images are provided gratis to help showcase the beauty of our country. But if you feel generous, help me uplift the lives of the Children of Payatas.  No donation is too big or too small. Get in touch with Fr. Aldrin Suan at aldri...@yahoo.com of the Vincentian Missionaries in the Philippines. As always, thanks and enjoy.)
