It’s official! The Philippines’ Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) has been confirmed as among the New7Wonders of Nature.
Bernard Weber, Founder-President of New7Wonders, made the announcement during a recent meeting with Puerto Princesa mayor Edward Hagedorn.
“When your very own President Aquino came out in support of the PPUR campaign, I knew that this country was taking the New7Wonders of Nature seriously,” Weber said.
“Fans of PPUR all over the world responded to his call for action by voting in record numbers and today’s confirmation is the well-earned reward for this extraordinary display of enthusiasm,” Weber added.
PPUR is second to Jeju Island to be officially confirmed as New7Wonders completed the telephone voting validation in the country.
The organization in its website stated that the remaining 5 provisional New7Wonders of Nature namely Amazon, Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls, Komodo, and Table Mountain are still undergoing the verification process.
Mayor Hagedorn said the confirmation is a “wonderful news” and “a great example of how now its more fun to be in the Philippines.”
He added, “world-wide exposure of our natural beauty on this level is critical both for tourism and for our image nationally and internationally.”
