Snapshots of Puerto Princesa

Last week, my old team ran away from BPO stress and headed to Puerto Princesa. None of us had been there, which made the trip more exciting. Tamad as I am, I purposely left my camera in Manila, plus I knew for sure that my companions could easily take a thousand pictures!

And here are some of our photos.


Check in was already closed at 11:45am. I didn't realize that our flight had been moved from 12:30PM to 12:15PM. He let us in anyway. Thanks Mr. Airphil!

Turns out the plane hadn't even landed yet. Our flight was delayed.

Welcome to Puerto Princesa!
First time I'm loving my hair on my face. Haha.


Famished but we still posed by our tricycle before heading to Balinsasayaw for a super late lunch!

Behind us - skin and skeleton of a large croc that ate a local fisherman. Bad croc!
Nothing special here but I love our pose.

After a relaxing massage, I had the best halo-halo. Its the best because milk and ice were refillable. Gotta love that!

Puerto Princesa must be a great place to live in. The cleanest and greenest and just a couple of hours away from sand, water and reef. Seafood is cheap and people are friendly. Because of Palawan, I'm already thinking about my future retirement.

Another memorable 4 days with my team - people I've grown to love. Can't wait for our next escape from Manila.
