FILIPINO EXOTIC FOOD I've seen folks from all over the world eating what I would never eat such as snakes, dogs, locusts, guinea pigs, frogs, horse, camel, beetles, ostrich, and you name it but I got very curious when a friend of mine told me a few days ago that she had an appetite for crocodile "buwaya" lechon (roasted crocodile). Are crocodiles no longer an endangered species? Probably not according to Philip Dizon, owner of Davao Crocodile Park in Barangay Maa. I watch SyFy films a lot and it's usually the giant crocodiles eating people and not the other way around. The people in Palawan, Philippines would be aghast for they love their crocodiles.
Soon there will be crocodile tears
Lolong, the Giant Crocodile caught in the Philippines. Unfortunately, Lolong passed away more than a year ago.

Yucky or Yummy? No thanks!
It's roasted pig for me anytime.

PUERTO PRINCESA, PALAWAN ARRIVAL & TOUR
My friends (Susan, Edith, Carme) and I booked for a 2 day-trip to the big island of Palawan. We boarded Philippine Airlines around 9:00 am and safely landed at Puerto Princesa airport around 10:00 am - an hour flight from Manila. The Microtel Hotel van was waiting for us and after a 10 minute wait for 2 more passengers, the driver right away drove us to the hotel. It was a good choice for us because it's the only hotel near the beach.
Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan, was all forest that's why it's called "A City in a Forest."

After a little bit of shopping for south sea pearls and nice souvenirs, we went to see a lot of crocodiles, young small ones and big ones, at Palawan Wildlife Reserve.
