                    [Title] => Calamianes The Crown Jewel of Palawan
                    [Summary] => 

If mainland Palawan was the Queen of the Philippine Islands for its breathtaking beauty stretching from end to end, the Calamianes Islands scattered on the northernmost tip would be the crown.  From Coron to Busuanga to Culion, Cuyo and the Quinublan Group, the island group off the northernmost tip of mainland Palawan is a receptacle of blue lagoons and calm waters perfect for kite surfing and wreck diving.

Majestic is the only word I can use to describe Coron island. I was in awe the moment we caught sight of the magnificent limestone rocks and cliffs, interspersed with trees indigenous to this island, detached from the mountains and hills of Busuanga. You have to look at a map to understand why there is a Coron town, a Coron island and a Busuanga airport. And this is home to an indigenous tribe called Tagbanua.

"It is difficult to grow flowers in this free-range island habitat," said Froilan Sariego, resident project manager of the Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary. "Exotic animals from Africa and important Philippine wildlife eat the flowers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Often, we have to get the animals’ food supply from the nearby islands."
