Puerto Princesa Makes It to the New7Wonders Shortlist; Final Voting is On!
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is one of the 28 finalists shortlisted to vie for honor of being one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. This is now the final stretch of the process and I encourage everyone to show our support this early.
"The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located about 50 km north of the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. It features a limestone karst mountain landscape with an 8.2 km. navigable underground river. A distinguishing feature of the river is that it winds through a cave before flowing directly into the South China Sea. It includes major formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers. The lower portion of the river is subject to tidal influences. The underground river is reputed to be the world's longest. At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by ancient trees growing right to the water's edge. Monkeys, large monitor lizards, and squirrels find their niche on the beach near the cave."
God richly blessed the Philippines with rich natural wonders and resources and the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is just one of them. Let's unite to bring our country the recognition it deserves.
