    Excerpt
    Considered to be the country’s last ecological frontier, Palawan is blessed with rich terrestrial and marine endowments, splendidly unique flora and fauna, and is a veritable treasure trove of world-class scenic spots. No wonder it was picked as the perfect location for shooting the 1997 James Bond thriller “Tomorrow Never Dies.” Even the renowned underwater explorer, Jacques Cousteau, was mesmerized by Palawan’s natural splendor, compelling him to remark that it was the most beautiful place he ever explored. He must have seen the magnificent seascape, comprising nearly 11,000 square kilometers of coral reefs which serve as underwater gardens for myriads of fish, a seascape described as one of the best in the world.
