04/18/2012 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. See more Read all reviews
