The earliest-known inhabitants of Palawan Island were migrants who arrived over a former land bridge that connected the island to nearby Borneo. By the 1100s, a thriving agricultural civilisation had been founded, with each of the subdivided villages ruled by Malay chieftains.
Throughout the Philippines, visitors will find a myriad of cultures coming together in each town, and Palawan is no exception. Many of the architectural highlights reflect the former Spanish colonial presence, though the depths of local culture delve much farther into the past. Excavations at Tabon Cave reveal 50,000 years-worth of prehistoric civilisations, founded by nomadic tribes that followed a land bridge from Borneo to Palawan. This cultural continuum is preserved to this day in the receding Batac hill tribe villages.
Tarek Festival: this festival is observed in the town of Aborlan by the indigenous Tagbanuas and Batak peoples during the third week in January. Ritualistic dances are the main event, and great emphasis is placed on local priests who attempt to commune directly with local deities during the events.
It is no secret how Starfish Island got its name. One of many islets in Honda Bay, this particular one enjoys luxurious white sand beaches and beautiful shallow waters that are teeming with starfish. Most visitors arrive here on an island-hopping tour of the bay.
Flights into Palawan are usually handled at Puerto Princesa Airport. Here, daily flights leave for Manila and Cebu city. There are also less regular routes from Manila to other Palawan destinations like El Nido and Coron. However, there are no international connections made in Palawan.
