New7Wonders of Nature Update: Hours Left to Vote for Puerto Princesa Underground River as ‘New 7 Wonders of Nature’
The Puerto Princesa Underground River in Palawan is about to be included in the “New 7 Wonders of the World” with just few hours left (exactly 5 hours, 3 minutes as of this posting) for people to cast their votes.
Aside from the unified campaign of Filipinos around the world, the Puerto Princesa Underground River deserves one of the 7 spots because of its spectacular subterranean river and mountain landscape that captivated 450,000 local and foreign tourists last year.
It is recognized as the longest navigable underground river in the world spanning 8.2 kilometers and winds through a cave with rich mineral deposits such as stalactites and stalagmites.
The title is expected to attract more tourists to Palawan, thus boosting the country’s tourism industry.
Because it takes more than words to make a stand, be one with the crusade and vote for the Puerto Princesa Underground River. Go to http://www.new7wonders.com/vote-2 or text PPUR to 2861. Voters have until 11:11 a.m. on November 11, 2011 (11.11.11) to vote for PPUR, the Philippines’ official entry to the New 7 Wonders of Nature global poll which is being contested by 28 countries.
