Tourists continue to visit Palawan despite US travel advisory


Foreign and local tourists have continued to visit Palawan's tourist attractions and beaches four days after the US Embassy in Manila issued a travel advisory for its citizens in the province to take extra precaution due to threats of "kidnapping."

But heightened security and the irresistible natural beauty of the island province continue to draw visitors during the dry-season break.
