World's New 7 Wonders of Nature, Puerto Princesa Underground River

The Philippines' Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) is now officially among the world's new 7 wonders of nature (N7WN) based on the results of a global poll, Puerto Princesa Mayor Edward Hagedorn announced in a press briefing at the Heritage Hotel in Pasay City on Saturday.

Hagedorn said the inclusion of the 17-kilometer underground river “will boost not only tourism traffic in Puerto Princesa but also heighten the awareness on the need to protect the natural wonder.”

N7WN president Bernard Weber, who confirmed the triumph, was himself captivated by the PPUR in his visit to Palawan several months ago.

Boracay named world's 2nd best beach

Boracay island in Aklan province is the second best beach destination in the world and the No. 1 in Asia for the second year in a row, according to travel website TripAdvisor.

"At only 4.5 miles long, Boracay is small enough to navigate by rented bicycle or motorbike. But don't let its small size fool you -- you'll have several excellent beaches to choose from," TripAdvisor said in its website.

"Yapak beach is known for beautiful white shells; White beach has picture-perfect sunsets; and Balinghai beach is a secluded spot, perfect for honeymooners. As long as you visit during dry season, you'll agree this is one of the best beach destinations in the world," it added.
