Coron limestone was formed 260 million years ago as a coral reef along the length of Southeast Asia and was part of the China Continental Crust. It was later rafted to its present location north of Palawan by tectonic movements.
They were uplifted by tectonism some 30 million years ago and then extensively eroded by waves and monsoon rains to create its present unique “karst” topography. These limestone crops rise dramatically as cathedral-like formations more 400 meters above sea level.

Coron is famous for its World War II wreck diving, and the site has been named in many lists of top dive spots in the world. In September 1944, a fleet of Japanese ships hiding in the harbor were sunk in a daring raid by the US navy. The result is around ten well preserved underwater shipwrecks surrounded with coral reef.

The famous view in Cordon unfortunately during cloudy weather conditions, but still a incredibly clear water and great rock formations to that!
We have about the same weather experience as these guys , the reason we have to back track leave the idea of El Nido, just too much rain.
*Trip to Philippines 2014 -Luzon, Bohol, Palawan
Brilliant video of El Nido and Coron !
Had been to Palawan / El Nido adventure 23 yrs ago,
would have been nice to see it again in best weather like that of these guys, but it was a gamble of the weather for us on July and August:
*2014 Great video El Nido, Tao Expédition, Coron
But most of all I thank the Lord for the opportunity to see these places again and everything was fine with us not the least seeing mg father and spent some time with him.
In the Philippines, some live in stilt shanties over water due to poverty and lack of accessible housing. Building on water avoids land ownership issues. Homes use scrap wood, tin, and bamboo stilts to stay above tides. These settlements often lack basic utilities like electricity, clean water, and sewage, yet serve as practical solutions for families with no formal housing options.

Panaderias are neighborhood bakeries found across the Philippines, offering fresh, affordable breads daily. A beloved staple is pandesal, soft bread rolls often eaten for breakfast. These family-run shops serve as community hubs, where locals gather each morning for warm bread and conversation. With open counters and simple setups, panaderias reflect the warmth and traditions of Filipino daily life.
I wish we had these in the US.
One of the most beautiful islands I have ever been. :D
Partially between Busuanga and Culion islands, Coron Island faces the Sulu Sea and forms the eastern side of Coron Bay. It is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) long from north to south, and 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) at its widest point.
It is a wedge-shaped mountainous island, dominated by steep cliffs and Karst rock formations made of Permian limestone of Jurassic origin that comprises about 70% of its area. Another 25% is rolling hills, while only 5% is relatively flat. There are 11 lakes nestled in the rugged terrain, of which 3 have underground connections to the sea. There are a few mangroves in coastal areas. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coron_Island
Coron floating city and a five star hotel share the waterfront in Busuanga, Philippines.

Nahum 1:7
"“The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.”
I always tell my family almost every morning reminding them to pray , even a short prayer of protection, the covering of the blood of Jesus before they start the day, leave the house / start work/ study. When we prays and ask for protection from the Lord and by faith we believe it God is faithful to His word and angels / link angels are their for protection and all sorts from God to keep us away from danger.
Lately , one morning my husband just missed a big road accident which involve several cars in a just less than a minute difference during the morning rush hour.
Praise God for the protection.
Friend we never know when ... make sure everyday is like the last day , you are cleansed and be ready . It's good , reassuringly so peaceful in hour hearts and soul, no money can buy it or neither redeem such peace we have when we finally knew and realized we are truly reconciled to our maker, and nothing to be afraid of in whatever comes.
My absolute fear is loosing myself , I mean dying without
God , living with a hidden sin in me unforgiven . The devil always tells lies through his minions in the flesh that there's no God and dragging many with him to his damnation which is coming. This may sound silly of those who purely purely trust in Science that makes reasons to prove God doesn't exist and philosophical rhetorics of vain glory of the knowledge and pride of man, which make them fall into the trap of their own pride, as Lucifer did . That in the end God would make them absolute fools and forever be damned.
