Gem of Palawan

Meet Beth Gales, she was one of our tour guides when we explored Palawan. If only the rest of the Philippines promotes the way Puerto Princesa does it, perhaps we would have a better representation globally. Anyway going back to Beth, So I did a bit of enquiry about her, she has been doing this job for the past year, she used to be in the hotel business side. I could sense her passion and dedication and she truly believes in what they promote in Palawan, which is eco tourism. We met her on day one for the city tour, then again on day three for our Honda bay adventure. I was gobsmacked to find out that part of their job was to prepare our lunch at the beach. While we were busy snorkelling she was busy grilling pork barbeque, tuna fillets, king prawn and prepared salted eggs salad and aubergine, mum bought fresh blue crabs and requested for it to be steamed. We had a feast and everyone was happy with our picnic. I admired how they localised the system in order for each barangay to benefit from tourism industry. This is my first time to do this locally so I wonder if this kind of thing is also being done somewhere else. Next adventure: Bohol - TBA lol!
