It was in 2001 when I first went to Coron, Palawan. I joined the weekend getaway package of WGA, which leaves on a Friday afternoon on board a WGA ship for Coron and is back in Manila by Monday around 1 pm.
In 2001 there were not a lot of tourists. During this time I shared Coron only with a group of travel agents on fun trip sponsored by the local government. Since there were not too many people, the experience was very relaxing and intimate. Coron, with its towering limestone cliffs, beautiful white sand beaches, and pristine mountain lakes, totally captivated me. I promised to go back.
So I grabbed the opportunity to visit Coron again when a US based friend invited me to join him on a holiday in Coron last year. This time, since 4 airline companies ( Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Seair and Zest Air)were flying from Manila to Busuanga, gateway to Coron, it was easier and cheaper to get there.
There were also more tourists, both locals and foreigners. Nevertheless, the holiday was still enjoyable because of Coron's natural and unspoilt beauty.
