Manila is the cultural, economic, educational and governmental center of the Philippines. It is the most populous region in the country and one of the most densely populated in the world. It is also the main gateway for international travelers arriving in the Philippines by air.

When you say "Manila", it can mean two things. First, it can refer to the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Manila is composed of 16 administrative districts, including Binondo, Ermita, Intramuros, Malate and Quiapo, among others.

Second, the greater metropolitan area of Manila is also called Manila. It is officially known as the National Capital Region (NCR) or Metro Manila. It is composed of the city of Manila, but also Makati, Quezon City, Parañaque, Pasay and Taguig, to name a few.

Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park encompasses one of the world’s most impressive cave systems, featuring spectacular limestone karst landscapes, pristine natural beauty, and intact old-growth forests and distinctive wildlife. It is located in the south-western part of the Philippine Archipelago on the mid western coast of Palawan, approximately 76 km northwest of Puerto Princesa and 360 km southwest of Manila.

The property, comprising an area of approximately 22,202 ha, contains an 8.2km long underground river. The highlight of this subterranean river system is that it flows directly into the sea, with its brackish lower half subjected to tidal influence, distinguishing it as a significant natural global phenomenon. The river’s cavern presents remarkable, eye catching rock formations. The property contains a full mountain-to-sea ecosystem which provides significant habitat for biodiversity conservation and protects the most intact and noteworthy forests within the Palawan biogeographic province. Holding the distinction of being the first national park devolved and successfully managed by a local government unit, the park’s effective management system is a symbol of commitment by the Filipino people to the protection and conservation of their natural heritage.
