Coast guard to deploy K9 units in Palawan airport
MANILA — The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) will deploy drug-sniffing dogs at an international airport in Palawan amid the increasing number of tourists visiting the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR).
Vice Admiral Edmund Tan, PCG commandant, ordered the use of K-9 units at the Puerto Princesa International Airport in response to a city resolution requesting for such deployment.
“The prominence of the [PPUR] and the subsequent tremendous influx of domestic and foreign tourists in the city prompted the City Council’s request in order to prevent the said airport from becoming a possible transhipment for illegal drugs,” the PCG said.
The PCG added that the extension of its area of operations at the airport also “intensifies the safety and security” of tourists who frequent other tourist attractions of the city including marine destinations such as beaches, rivers, and estuaries.
The PPUR was declared early this year as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature and features a limestone karst mountain landscape with an 8.2-kilometer navigable underground river, reputed to be the world’s longest.
Before it flows directly into the West Philippine Sea, the underground river winds through a cave that includes major formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers. At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by old trees growing right to the water’s edge.
The PPUR is located about 50 kilometers north of Puerto Princesa City.
According to the Department of Tourism, the number of foreign arrivals in the country for the first half of the year totaled to 2.1 million visitors, an already 11.68 percent increase from last year’s volume of 1.9 million visitors. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

About this wine-tasting event
For this upcoming event, Yats Wine Cellars turns your attention to the classic wines of Europe. Participants will taste five kinds of wines side by side, each kind representing either a region or a style of wine. Wine lovers of all level of sophistication will have no trouble appreciating the differences in styles.
The five kinds of wines selected for this wine-tasting session are:
Italian Red Wine – represented by the classic red wines from Tuscany made primarily from the Sangiovese grape variety.
Spain Red Wine – represented by the famous Rioja red wines made from the charming Tempranillo grape variety.
Bordeaux Red Wine – arguably the most popular and certainly one of the most well known wine regions in the world, its wines renowned for its ability to improve with age many years after bottling.
Burgundy Red Wine – hallowed as the Mecca for fans of Pinot Noir, sophisticated wine drinkers seem to always end up besotted by these elegantly but deceivingly powerful red wines made entirely from Pinot Noir, a grape variety most hated by growers because they are notoriously difficult to handle both in the fields and in the winery after harvesting.
Portugal Port Wine – these fortified wines which usually comprise of 12% wine and 8% brandy deliver arguably the deepest impressions of all forms of wine.
