I love this card. It's probably 40-50 years old and looks the part. There is a coffee stain on the back and the edges look like its been around. It's a tourist card from Puerto Princesa, the capital city of the province of Palawan. Today the city is known as the Eco-Tourism Center of the Philippines. Puerto Princesa is near the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, of the New 7 Wonders of the Nature. The city is also the jumping off point to visit Tubbataha Reef. The reef is a protected area found in the Sulu Sea. There are two huge atolls and the area is almost 100 000 hectares. In December 1993, the Tubbataha Reefs National Park was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
