🌸 Did you know?

The beautiful Balayong, or native Palawan Cherry, is more than its signature pink-white blooms. It is a part of Puerto Princesa’s natural identity and the ecological namesake of the city’s Balayong Festival.

Every bloom reminds us of the biodiversity worth celebrating and protecting.
