Proudly Filipino!
Congrats, Pinoys!
The Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) in Palawan has just been declared as among the official New7Wonders of Nature winners. The recognition will now pave way for a new campaign – to vote Puerto Princesa as one of the New7Wonders Cities in the World!
No less than New7Wonders (N7WN) President Bernard Weber came here to the Philippines to formally announce the inclusion of Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) in the
New7Wonders of Nature, as reported by GMA News on Saturday, January 28, 2012.
After the announcement, Mr. Weber congratulated the Filipino people during the press conference held at the Heritage Hotel in Pasay City.
“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,” he 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,” he added.
Here are the Provisional Winners of New7Wonders of Nature in alphabetical order (official winners are in bold letters) as the announcement for the remaining 5 is still pending:
