The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park currently ranks first in the global voting for the New Seven Wonders of Nature competition under the category forest, natural parks, and nature reserves.

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is located about 50 km north of the city of Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines. It features a limestone karst mountain landscape with an 8.2 km. navigable underground river. A distinguishing feature of the river is that it winds through a cave before flowing directly into the South China Sea. It includes major formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers. The lower portion of the river is subject to tidal influences. The underground river is reputed to be the world's longest. At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by ancient trees growing right to the water's edge. Monkeys, large monitor lizards, and squirrels find their niche on the beach near the cave.

Bataan is a province of the Philippines occupying the whole of Bataan Peninsula on Luzon. The province is part of the Central Luzon region. The capital of Bataan is Balanga City and is bordered by the provinces of Zambales and Pampanga to the north. The peninsula faces South China Sea to the west and encloses its arm, Manila Bay, to the east.

Bataan will always be remembered as the place where one of the fierce battles of World War II occurred. The Battle of Bataan is famous in history. It was one of the last stands of the American and Filipino soldiers before they were overwhelmed by the Japanese forces. In fact a 95-meter-high cross called the “Dambana ng Kagitingan” was built at the top of Mt. Samat in memory of those who perished in the war. Relic of artilleries can be found here at Mt. Samat. There are several old cannons displayed in this mountain. A museum has been created to house small artilleries, ammunitions and other memorabilia of the war. According to the caretaker of the museum, when the Japanese forces invaded this mountain not a single human being survived. Bataan fell on April 9 and the infamous Bataan Death March began. Around 70,000 captured American and Filipino soldiers were forced to march more than a hundred kilometers from Bataan to Tarlac.

Other attractions in Bataan are the Death March markers, fine beaches in Bagac and Morong, Mount Natib, Abucay Church, and the aborted nuclear power plant in Morong to name a few.
