I am happy to see that our very own Puerto Princesa Underground River ended up in the Top 7. It's also interesting that majority of the New 7 Wonders (4 out of 7) came from Asia. 1. AMAZON (South America) 2. HALONG BAY (Vietnam, Asia) 3. IGUAZU FALLS (South America) 4. JEJU ISLAND (South Korea, Asia) 5. KOMODO (Indonesia, Asia) 6. PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER (Philippines, Asia) 7. TABLE MOUNTAIN (Africa) Isang malaking karangalan ito para sa Pilipinas at magiging malaking hakbang din ito upang lalo pang mapaunlad ang turismo dito sa ating bansa.
'Pinoy at 'Pinas : ASTIG!NOTE: The provisional New7Wonders of Nature are based on the first count of vote results on 11/11/11.
It is possible that there will be changes between the above provisional winners and the eventual finally confirmed winners.
The provisional New7Wonders of Nature are listed in alphabetical order, not in any position or ranking.
The voting calculation is now being checked, validated and independently verified, and the confirmed winners will be announced starting early 2012 during the Official Inauguration ceremonies.
After reading the story of Gerry Ortega who was shot in the head, dead a few minutes after discussing over the phone an anti-mining campaign in Palawan with Gina Lopez and watching videos about the current situation in Palawan, I became decided on my stand regarding this issue, NO TO MINING IN PALAWAN!
Maawa naman na tayo sa kalikasan.
Hindi dapat tayo maging mapang-abuso kahit pa naghihirap na tayo kasi tayo rin naman ang magsisisi sa bandang huli. Naniniwala ako na ang yaman at benepisyo na hatid ng pagmimina ay tunay na panandalian lamang at hindi magbibigay ng progreso sa ating bayan, bagkus ay marami pang problema sa hinaharap. Nariyan ang pagtaas ng insidente ng flash floods at landslides na siyang maghahatid naman ng tiyak na kapahamakan sa mga residente ng Palawan. Alam kong lahat ng tao ay likas na may konsensya, kaya naman kaisa ako sa hakbang na ito para mapatigil ang pagmimina doon at gayundin ay hinihingi ko ang inyong suporta rito.
Meron tayong magagawa't hindi pa huli ang lahat.
