Congratulations to Puerto Princesa Underground River

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range, Puerto Princesa Palawan, Philippines. It is bordered by St. Paul Bay to the north and the Babuyan River to the east. The PPSR National Park was managed since 1992 by the City Government of Puerto Princesa.

It is also known as St. Paul’s Subterranean River National Park, the entrance to the river is a short hike from the town of Sabang. It is also one of the 28 finalists for the “New Seven Wonders of Nature” competition.

President Benigno S. Aquino III encouraged our fellow Filipinos our the world to vote for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River (PPSR) National Park to be one of the new seven wonders of nature.

P-Noy says in his speech at the launch of the campaign for the Underground River, "We can help [the] Puerto Princesa Underground River, as well as the Philippines, garner a distinct spot on the international tourist map. I leave the mode of choice to you, but please remember to vote, and vote to the maximum." 

He added: "While winning a place in the top seven bolsters our sense of national pride, recognition is not the only thing we can gain. We must also remember that the tourists we can potentially attract will redound to thousands of employment opportunities; our success here will ultimately breed success for Filipinos everywhere."

Guys, we can vote online at www.new7wonders.com, or by texting PPUR to 2861. Voting ends on November 11, 2011.

  2. Hey bro, it's still just provisional -- not yet final coz they're still counting the votes. Read Weber's full speech here. But let's keep our fingers crossed that PP Underground River will get confirmed next year. The foundation promised to update whenever there's a change on the line up.

    Enjoy the week ahead bro!
