Palawan is an island province of the Philippines located in the MIMAROPA region.
Its capital is Puerto Princesa City, and it is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of jurisdiction.
The islands of Palawan stretch from Mindoro to Borneo in the southwest.
It lies between the South China Sea in the northwest and Sulu Sea in the southeast.
The province is named after its largest island, Palawan Island, 


measuring 450 kilometers (280 mi) long, and 50 kilometers (31 mi)
Palawan may be traced back 22,000 years ago, as confirmed by the discovery of bone fragments of the Tabon Man in the municipality of Quezon. Although the origin of the cave dwellers is not yet established, anthropologists believe they came from Borneo. Known as the Cradle of Philippine Civilization, the Tabon Caves consist of a series of chambers where scholars and anthropologists discovered the remains of the Tabon Man along with his tools and a number of artifacts.
Palawan is the most well preserved major island group in the Philippines. It is also the largest province in the Philippines in terms of land area. The rain forest, caves, coral reefs, mangroves, beaches and clear blue waters are its best assets. One has to go around the islands of Palawan to see how its people and the local government’s conservation efforts have born fruit.

With over 1,700 islands and islets and almost 2,000 kilometers of coastline, Palawan is known as having one of the most beautiful seascapes in the world. Sprawled beneath the seas are nearly 11,000 square kilometers of coral reefs. Palawan was proclaimed as a fish and wildlife sanctuary in 1967 and to this day, this group of islands is probably the most protected province in the whole Philippines.
