Andy Webster New York Times A a quiet, lyrical ode to Palawan, a tropical island paradise in the Philippines whose inhabitants go by the same name. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 29, 2012 Full Review Michelle Orange Village Voice Director Auraeus Solito generates too little of the magic that holds a story as tenuous as this one together.

Audience Member I have to admit that if not because of this film, I wouldn't be anymore appreciative of my country's ethnic customs and traditions. Palawan fate succeeded in showing the rich culture of the Palawan region and how modernization is threatening its disappearance. This film gives me hope that people are still interested in preserving such wonderful heritage. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
