Palawan Named Best Island in the World for 2015

Palawan garnered an overall rating of 85.937 from the US travel website the readers to capture the no. 1 spot in the Top 20 Best Islands in the World list for second straight year.
"Palawan's natural wonder is one of the longest underground rivers in the world, traveling five miles through a subterranean cave system. Guided boat tours take visitors down a portion of the waterway, where karsts, natural rock formations created by dissolving limestone, loom in every direction," wrote the Magazine.
