“The Puerto Princesa Underground River is truly a marvel of nature and deserves to be included in this list of new seven wonders of nature,” Ambassador Cabactulan said.

He continued: “We urge Filipinos and the many friends of the Philippines around the world to support the campaign for the Puerto Princesa Underground River. With this vital support, we can help ensure that the Puerto Princesa Underground River is indeed duly recognized for the marvel that it truly is.”
