It’s our first EducaTour in Palawan. All of us teachers, school administrators and staff were very excited to see the beauty and hidden treasures of our very own Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Though, majority of us did not get enough sleep the night before the trip, we were still able to fuel ourselves with enough energy to arrive quite early in the airport. We were there at 4AM and our flight’s at 7:30. By 9AM we were already in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Our first destination was the IWAHIG Prison and Penal Farm. It is one of the most popular prisons in the Philippines. The minimum security inmates are involved in agricultural work and their families can live with them. Family members can also work there by selling handicrafts made by the inmates to earn a living. Next stop, Crocodile Farm! Actually, it's Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center. In here they rescue endangered animals and help preserve other species. I hate crocodiles but I definitely love my crocs! I took pictures of sleeping crocodiles (babies and adults) and other animals in that area. It’s kind of like a mini zoo but more crocs. Next stop, Mitra’s Farm! Here we were given time to take pictures and to rest before going to Baker’s Hill for our merienda. After which we went back to our pension to freshen up and prepare for our dinner at the SkyLight Hotel. And that’s just the firs day! Stay tuned for Part Two!
