Puerto Princesa City Tour

Iwahig Penal Colony




This was our first stop on our city tour. We rented a tricycle for the city tour. other trykes offer 600 pesos for 4 hours tour while others offer 100 per hour. Also, you can just avail the package of 600 for a city tour. Your service is an aircon van and travel is much faster. Prisoners are free to roam around the compound. This is a prison area where the inmates are given a chance to become farmers and workers in a vast land.


They also sell hand made crafts which are being sold in their souvenir shop.




An inmate took this picture for us. :)



After buying our pasalubongs, inmates again offered key chains/souvenirs. Pwede lang daw sila mag-offer kapag nakalabas na ung mga turista.
Actually, mas magagaganda pa nga at mas bago ang mga gawa nila kesa sa mga andun sa shop. So you might want to consider buying from them too when you visit iwahig prison.

Rancho Sta. Monica, the Mitra's hilltop ranch house of former speaker ramon v. mitra on the top of the hill overlooking honda bay islands It has a magnificent view of the city proper and honda bay. It is also a favorite pasyalan for families and barkadas.

After Mitra's ranch, we went to the palengke for more pasalubong shopping! we bought cashew nuts. There are also kasoy being sold at the airport so you might also skip this one.
