🌿🏞️ ABORLAN’S STORY ON WHEELS! 🎨✨

Kung may isang float na kayang ikuwento ang kalikasan, kultura, at pagkakakilanlan ng isang bayan sa isang tingin, maaaring ito na iyon.

Sa Baragatan Festival 2026, ipinamalas ng Aborlan ang isang makulay at malikhaing obra na hango sa ilan sa mga ipinagmamalaki nitong yaman—ang kahanga-hangang Atup-Atup Falls at ang mayamang kultura ng mga Tagbanua.

Makikita sa float ang pagsasanib ng sining at kalikasan: mga ugat ng kagubatan, anyong-tubig, tradisyunal na simbolo, at mga elementong nagpapakita ng koneksyon ng tao sa lupaing kanyang pinagmulan. Para itong isang gumagalaw na museo na bumabagtas sa mga kalsada ng Puerto Princesa.

Mas kahanga-hanga pa rito ang katotohanang likha ito ng mga lokal na artista ng Aborlan—patunay na hindi lamang likas na yaman ang ipinagmamalaki ng bayan, kundi pati ang talento at pagkamalikhain ng mga mamamayan nito.

Sa bawat liko ng gulong at bawat detalye ng disenyo, isang mensahe ang malinaw: ang Aborlan ay hindi lamang isang lugar na dinarayo, kundi isang kwentong buhay na patuloy na isinasalaysay sa pamamagitan ng sining at kultura. 🌿💚

Kayo, ano ang unang napansin ninyo sa float ng Aborlan? 👀✨

🏀🌴 ISANG PALAWEÑO, ISANG PANGARAP, ISANG GILAS! 🇵🇭

Mula sa mga basketball court ng Puerto Princesa hanggang sa pagsusuot ng pambansang kulay ng Pilipinas—isa itong kwentong nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa bawat kabataang nangangarap.

Congratulations kay Philip Andrei Ong, isang proud Palaweño na opisyal nang bahagi ng Batang Gilas Pilipinas U16 Men’s Team!

Hindi biro ang makarating sa pambansang koponan. Libo-libong batang manlalaro ang nangangarap na magsuot ng jersey ng Pilipinas, ngunit iilan lamang ang nabibigyan ng pagkakataong kumatawan sa bansa. Ngayon, isa sa kanila ang anak ng Puerto Princesa.

Ang tagumpay ni Philip ay patunay na ang talento mula sa Palawan ay kayang makipagsabayan sa pinakamahuhusay sa bansa. Isa rin itong paalala sa mga batang atleta na ang sipag, disiplina, at dedikasyon ay maaaring magbukas ng pinto tungo sa mas malalaking pangarap.

Habang bitbit niya ang pangalan ng Puerto Princesa at Palawan sa mas malaking entablado, dala rin niya ang inspirasyon para sa susunod na henerasyon ng mga batang nangangarap maging bahagi ng Batang Gilas balang araw.

Mabuhay ka, Philip Andrei Ong! Ang buong Palawan ay proud sa iyo! 💙🏀🇵🇭

🌿💚 Did You Know? Palawan Lost Over 57,000 Hectares of Forest in 22 Years

Kapag tinitingnan natin ang luntiang kabundukan at kagubatan ng Palawan, parang endless ang ganda nito. But behind those breathtaking views, there’s a story that deserves our attention.

According to a recent study, southern Palawan lost around 57,715 hectares of forest cover between 2001 and 2023 within ECAN Core and Buffer Zones. The biggest contributor? Kaingin (slash-and-burn farming), which accounts for more than 77% of the recorded forest loss.

But this isn't just about numbers on a chart.

Every forest lost means fewer habitats for wildlife, reduced protection against floods and landslides, and a growing challenge in preserving the natural beauty that makes Palawan one of the world's most loved island destinations.

The good news? Solutions are possible.

By supporting sustainable livelihoods, promoting responsible farming practices, and working together as communities, we can help ensure that future generations will still enjoy the forests, rivers, wildlife, and natural wonders that make Palawan truly special.

After all, protecting Palawan isn't just the job of government
agencies—it's something we can all be part of.

🌱 Because the best souvenir we can leave for the future is a greener Palawan.
