WOW Philippines 2024: Discovering Balabac, Palawan — The Most Beautiful Place I’ve Ever Visited (Heaven on Earth)




It’s cold outside—and even colder in my room right now—and I’m absolutely loving it! How are you, people of Earth? It’s been over a week since my short trip to our neighboring country, Taiwan. I went there for leisure and to create new content, and I can confidently say: I’m definitely going back.

Welcome to Balabac, Palawan! True Paradise!

As a first-timer, I completely fell in love with it. Everything just made sense—the vibe, the people, the place. But what truly impressed me was how advanced and efficient everything is. The technology there is on another level—from easy cashless payments to smart systems that make everyday life feel so seamless and convenient.


And don’t even get me started on the transportation. The trains, especially the Taipei Metro, were incredibly clean, fast, and always on time. It was so easy to navigate, even for a visitor like me. Moving from one place to another felt effortless, which made exploring so much more fun and stress-free. Honestly, it made me appreciate how organized and well-planned everything is.


But I’m going to pause my Taiwan stories for now because I’ll be creating a separate blog dedicated entirely to that trip—it deserves its own spotlight.

For now, let’s move on to the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to in my entire existence. And I’m not exaggerating when I say this—legit paradise. The kind of place that feels almost unreal the moment you step into it. Uncrowded, peaceful, and breathtaking in every possible way. It’s not just a destination… it’s a dream.


Part of me wants to gatekeep this place so badly—but let’s be real, it’s already all over the internet, and it’s no surprise why so many people are now adding it to their bucket lists. Balabac, Palawan is truly something else.

I feel so grateful—and honestly, a little proud—that I was able to experience its raw beauty back in 2022. Before the crowds, before it became everyone’s dream escape. It feels special knowing I witnessed it in its pure, untouched magic.


I remember a few months ago, while scrolling through X, I came across a post that said, “No matter your age, you’ll always wish you started younger. But today is the youngest you’ll ever be. So start today.

That line stayed with me. And honestly, it feels so aligned with what I’m sharing right now—especially when I think about my trip to Palawan almost four years ago. I didn’t wait for the “perfect time.” I just went for it. Looking back, I’m so grateful I did, because that decision gave me memories I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

First Time Abroad: Visit Truly Asia Malaysia 2020 - Kota Kinabalu - Sabah

Hello, Super Folks ! Welcome back to my blog! How are you today? Well, whether you tell it or not, I know, most of us are not okay. Many are anxious, lonely and depressed. I'd like to say, if you don't feel fine, that's normal and valid. It's also understandable. Because of this COVID-19 pandemic, many are now getting emotional and struggling to stay sane. Without a doubt, the world has mental health crisis too and it's extremely concerning. We must address it and we also need to flatten this "other" curve. Praying like sharing to God your worries, reading new book, learning new language, avoiding toxic news on social media, learning how to plant, painting and doing yoga. These are only few examples that we can do daily or frequently to feel better. In addition, to somehow escape from the prison of negative or overthinking. Remember this, " whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, wh...
