Tubbataha declared as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO since 1993. Last year it generated about P4 million pesos from tourism. The reef is located 182 km southeast from the city.

The reef’s island are the breeding ground for the seabirds across Southeast Asia.
Park manager Angelique Songco said that the tourism income will be used for the conservation, monitoring, researching and other expenses needed annually and that would cost at about P10 million. The Philippine Coast Guard, the Philippine Navy and other officers in Western Command are helping Tubbataha’s conservation through logistic support and manpower. Tubbataha as reported has a contributed ecological value of P840 million every year in the country’s economy in terms of tourism and fisheries.

hi joanjoyce! thanks for this reminder! we really need to rally behind this cause =]
just a clarification perhaps: the New Seven Wonders of the World- the ones which replaced yung Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Lighthouse at Pharos, etc have already been named last 07.07.07, at ito yung binanggit mo sa itaas na Chichen Itza, Christ the Redeemer, Colosseum, Taj Mahal, Great Wall, Petra, at Machu Picchu. Tubbataha is not competing against them- winners na yung pitong iyon.
Tubbataha IS competing to be included sa list of New Seven Wonders of Nature, where it is currently ranked, you are correct, no. 33, according to the new7wonders.com as of today. Ang kalaban nya rito ay ang mga tulad ng Bora Bora island sa Pacific, Ganges River sa India, Mt Everest, Mt Fuji, Niagara Falls, etc.
But the fact remains- go vote na tayo sa new7wonders.com woot woot

interesting that many Pinoys have gone to SO many places in the world- pero yung sariling lugar natin sa Pilipinas e hindi pa natin napupuntahan… mahal kasi sila, for starters… buti pa maraming Koreans, nagalugad na ang Pilipinas… (sorry off topic! napaisip lang nang malakas)
