  • El Nido The Creation of God El Nido, the last land of mystery in the Philippines.

    © CEBU navi SAKURA | vol.16 Jul.-Aug. | 2018

    El Nido is drawing the attention of the world as being the last secret of the Philippines’ 7,107 islands. We found emerging mountains and a shining, emerald green sea. The abundant nature splendor is surely suitable enough to call it the world's best resort. The El Nido Spirit, which respects nature over humans, has taken root here. In the southwest Philippines, floating in the South China Sea, is a town in the northern part of the Palawan Islands called "El Nido". The harmony of white sand, blue sea, and greenery -- it's said that the Spanish who visited here in the 17th century were overwhelmed by its extraordinary beauty, so they left it as is. Genius diver, Jack Maillol, also was famously captivated by the island's beauty in the movie "Grand Blue". Now we have visited El Nido, the "last land of mystery in the Philippines" - fascinating tourists and divers all over the world. You can go directly from Cebu to El Nido by AirSWIFT in about 1 hour 40 minutes. Alternatively, you can fly to Puerto Princesa, the largest city in the Palawan Islands, and reach El Nido by bus in 5-6 hours.

The abundant nature and rich cultural heritage of Cordova is protected by the government and has helped the town to grow and become a popular island hopping spot. Cordova's hero, King Dagami of barangay Gabi was known for his fishing lifestyle, which is now a motif of the "Dinagat Bakasi Festival", which is held in August to celebrate the town's abundant marine resources and showcase the townsmen's talents.
