My first visit to Coron won’t be forgotten easily. Coron, the final leg in an interisland tour earlier this summer consisting of stops in Boracay and Cebu, organized by Philippine Airlines (PAL) and the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB), showed an unspoiled part of the Philippines waiting to be discovered. While billeted comfortably at the Coron Westown Resort, we were roused early to hop on to a boat that would take us to the islands around Coron. Our tour guide, Nash Torres, said as we left Coron proper that technically, the municipality known as Coron was moved to Busuanga Island, while the actual island of Coron was awarded to the Tagbanua people as part of their ancestral domain.
