Manila:
Manila, the bustling capital of the Philippines, is a city with a rich historical and cultural background. Not many people are aware that Manila is home to the oldest Chinatown in the world, known as Binondo. Established in 1594, Binondo offers a glimpse into the city’s multicultural heritage with its vibrant streets, Chinese temples, and delectable Chinese cuisine. Another hidden gem in Manila is Escolta Street, once considered the “Queen of Manila’s Streets.” This historic avenue was once a hub of commerce and luxury during the Spanish colonial period. Today, it is undergoing a revival with art galleries, hip cafes, and heritage shops.
Puerto Princesa:
Puerto Princesa is renowned for its stunning Underground River, but not many know that it is also home to one of the world’s few “singing forests.” Located in the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm, this unique phenomenon occurs when the leaves of the trees rustle and produce musical sounds, resembling a symphony. Additionally, Puerto Princesa is the site of one of the most extensive cave systems in the country. The Saint Paul Subterranean River Cave is the longest navigable underground river in the world, stretching over 24 kilometers. The area surrounding the cave is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, providing a haven for diverse flora and fauna.
El Nido:
El Nido, famous for its picturesque landscapes, offers more than just stunning beaches. Hidden within the limestone cliffs are ancient burial caves dating back to the Late Neolithic Age, around 2680 BCE. These burial sites provide valuable insights into the early human settlement in the region and are an essential part of El Nido’s cultural heritage. Additionally, El Nido is a sanctuary for the world’s rarest sea turtle species, the Hawksbill Sea Turtle. The area’s marine protected areas serve as nesting grounds for these majestic creatures, contributing significantly to their conservation. Travelers visiting El Nido can witness these endangered turtles in their natural habitat and participate in efforts to protect them.
Exploring these lesser-known aspects of Manila, Puerto Princesa, and El Nido unveils a deeper connection to the rich history, biodiversity, and cultural significance of these incredible Philippine destinations.
