U can also add sis tiara sa fb. Madalas sya online and dun kami nag uusap about our PPS-El Nido trip on dec.

[nettai]

Stayed at One Rover's nang biglaan, checked out a while ago before we went back here in Manila. We had to ask Ate Chat of Telesfora (El Nido) kung may ka-tie in sila na hotel sa PPC since we had to leave earlier than our usual itinerary -- so biglang gastos din;we needed a budget hotel na malapit sa airport.

I say na okay ang place na to; we thought na maingay ang place pero di naman. Less than 2k lang sya, for three persons na yun -- perfect for us kasi malapit sa restos, palengke, etc. (sa mismong palengke kasi kami namili ng mga souvenirs, mas mura kasi dun). And since namiss ko ang Chaolong from my Rio Tuba assignment, I persuaded my Dad and my BF to eat at Bona's Chaolong (one more reason why I love this hotel, kaya kasi syang lakarin from there). Sobrang saya ko nung natikman ko to ulit. (Haha mababaw kaligayahan ko sorry) XD

Just a thing that I would always say to people buying souvenirs -- CANVAS! Dad and BF bought kasuy brittle for 85 pesos/each, binebenta nila yung fried kasuy for 150/half-kilo. Nag-canvas ako, I was able to buy fried kasuy for 140/half-kilo, and guess what... 70 pesos lang dun ang kasuy brittle. Kaboom.

We planned to eat at Ka Inatô's kaso di natuloy; 10:30am kami pumunta, 11am pa sila nagbubukas and limited lang ang time namin. lolz.

Mga sis. Need some advice on our palawan tour. Sa june 2014 pa naman kaso we don't have any plans yet. Nauna lang iyong pagpurchase ng airfare. 4d/3n lenght of stay namin we plan to go to underground river, crocodile farm and honda bay at kung kaya pa ng schedule sa el nido na din. Ask ko lang
1) mas makakamura ba kami kung kukuha kami package ng hotel and tour sa mga goupon site or mas ok na sarili na lang namin?
2) magkano ang budget per person minus na iyong airfare?
3) kailangan ba na kumuha ng tour guide and service or kaya naman na commute na lang?

Kung may mga kilala or contact kayo mga sis sa hotel and tour iyong reasonable price lang. Sa hotel basta comfy lang and may pool sana kasi may kasama kaming bata. kindly send me the details. And kung may itinerary na ng tour mas maganda. Mga 10-12 pax kaming pupunta. TIA!

[scruffs]

can someone give me the contact details of sis tiara? I need help also on our trip. thanks!

Hi mga sis, may idea ba kayo sa current state ng puerto princesa ngayon? Our trip kasi is next tuesday na and hindi ko sure kung greatly affected ng bagyo ang pps. Tia!

[ayionick]

^so far ok naman sila sis. Ang tinamaan yung Coron, Culion, El Nido, Amanpulo and other small islands near them or in the northern part of Palawan. Puerto Princesa is on the middle part of Palawan. Sila tiara pupunta ng Coron today to bring relief goods.

Hi mga sis

I used to live in Palawan for 5 years when I was young. I have relatives there and lately my mom and I have been thinking of going back and living there..or at least buy a lot and put up a house (God willing) when we cannot stomach Manila anymore

Does anyone know what website I should go to to check lots for sale? or does anyone know how much na yung lots sa puerto princessa..maybe in Kanigaran (most of our relatives are there) or sa Taft street?

I want to go here to for a much needed vacation..away from all the problems I am going thru lately

[meg1104]

^^^ Just got back from Puerto Princesa last weekend.
Since Sunday, back to "normal operations" na. Ok na lahat ng tours. Cancelled lang because of typhoon
signal, not because of any casualties in the area.

Happy that we were able to see Underground River pa din. If there's something lang na talaga
naman maisusumpa ko at ng mga kasama ko is - the road trip to Sabang. It was about 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
It was not rough road naman. Patag at maayos nga e. But zigzag. And it requires certain "skills" in
driving. Oh my gosh, grabe talaga ang hilo at suka namin. E sanay naman kami sa biyahe lahat, hindi mahiluhin.
But that one was one crazy drive. Hindi kaya masaya na maging roller coaster ride yun.

It was our last tour/ trip. But pagbaba sa hotel, talaga naman ang sakit ng ulo namin at hilo
nawala tuloy sa isip namin pagbigay nung tip sa driver and tour guide....

Sis ayionick-yung el nido ba ok na sya puntahan or marami rin na damage? Kasama kasi sa itinerary namin yun on 2Dec.
Hoping nakarecover lahat ng affected areas

[ayionick]

^from what i've seen sa FB post nila mukhang madali naman naging ok ang el nido. hindi naman kagaya sa tacloban na nagkaron ng storm surge. like with coron, nasira lang daw yung mga bangka, problema sa electricity, potable water at madaming puno ang natumba. but with regards daw sa casualties kaunti lang. maulan daw ngayon sa PPC pero sana pag-alis ni zorayda maging maaraw na.

[chedz.03]

Nag message din ako kay sis tiara sa fb kung ok pa isama ng el nido sa tour namin. Kung maayos naman at wala danger lalo sa island hopping eh Go kami. Para makatulong din sa tourism nila. Mabuti naman at ok sa PPS. Di ko yata maimagine kung nasira din ni yolanda ang palawan
thank u sis ^.

[danda]

^sis kagagaling lang namin sa El Nido at PPS, okay naman silang pareho.

Nagstay kami sa Purple Inn, ang ganda! Hehe! Ang kulay talaga tsaka super lapit sa airport at mga kainan. Okay rin ang mga staffs. Gabi palang kinuha na nila ang order namin for breakfast then what time isserve, pinaserve namin ng 7AM. Tapos kinabukasan, exact 7AM may kumatok na at handa na daw ang breakfast!
Narefund rin namin ang sobra sa dineposit namin since hindi na natuloy mga kasama namin dahil sa bagyo.
Kumain din kami sa Bona's.. masarap din. Mura pa.

[cescilay]

When we went to Puerto Princesa last month, DIY lahat except sa underground river because I am too scared na hindi kami matuloy if maubusan kami ng slot or if hindi kami makakuha ng permit on time. The city is very easy to explore. There are also lots affordable places where you can stay. Halos every street doon may inn, pension house or hotel. You can get information from various travel blogs to help you.

[chedz.03]

excited na ako! halos 2 more weeks nalang yeheyyy!!!

[sweetbabycakes]

will stay sa one rover's place on our last night in palawan, based sa review ni sis nettai. balitaan ko kayo when we get back. sad lang yung pagtataas ng prices sa el nido, parang makakasira sa plans.

[chedz.03]

^Sis iniisip ko nga if sa PPS nalang kami at wag na tumuloy sa el nido. Ang laki kasi increase nila

[aimz_ashley]
