The name “Palawan” most probably was given by the Chinese as far back as the 9th Century. They called it PA-LAO-YU, or “land of beautiful safe harbour”. Others believe it came from the Indian word “Palawans” meaning “Territory”.

# Busuanga island in the north

# Cagayancillo (who has not heard about Tubattaha Reef) in the east
