Wrapping it up, the two days conference tackled Web 2.0, how it influenced Library 2.0. The product presentations included a software, online databases, subscriptions management and security device. These products may assist the librarian in coming out with services geared toward Library 2.0 Borrowing the idea of Mr. Romero, as a way of addressing these changes and changing patron needs, the librarian must also improve in order to become the Librarian 2.0.

Puerto Princesa City Tour Purita P. Uson

As a final treat to participants of the two-day PAARL National Summer Conference held in Palawan, a city tour of Puerto Princesa was organized by the officers of the Association. In the morning of April 25, 2008, five (5) vans carrying the excited tourists left the conference venue and a tour guide was assigned to each vehicle. The half-day city tour covered the following interesting places:

Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm – Situated in a 37-hectare picturesque farm, this colony houses some 4,000 inmates who live in dormitories. The place is more of a farming community rather than a prison. The inmates are involved in agricultural work and their families are allowed to live and stay with them. The coconut trees, rice, and other crops planted in the vast land area are cultivated by the prisoners as well as their families. The preoccupation helps them earn a living. Another source of income for them is handicraft-making and carving items made of mahogany wood. Their products are a good buy for tourists.

Next in the itinerary was the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center. Its former name was Crocodile Farming Institute, more popularly known as the Crocodile Farm. It is both a tourist attraction and a research institute devoted to crocodiles. It aims to preserve and conduct further research studies on endangered species of crocodiles. One of its attractions is a skeleton of a large crocodile encased in glass. A crocodile’s skin can be seen hanging on the wall. Some of us in the Board and other participants had our picture taken beside the amazing fossilized remains. The place has a hatchling house for crocodiles. One of its structures is a “hospital” for sick and disabled crocodiles. Another feature of the center

is a mini-zoo where some of Palawan’s endemic animals can be seen. One example is an ostrich that can be found in the grounds. We even posed for a souvenir shot holding a young crocodile for only thirty pesos.

Another place that we visited was the Butterfly Garden. This fine garden is home to different butterfly species not only those native in Palawan, but also those from other parts of Southeast Asia. It was constructed to attract tourists and make them aware of the beautiful butterflies that are natural to Palawan. The garden is full of flower-bearing plants where butterflies fly around hopping from one plant to another. One can find various pupae and cocoons where caterpillars transform into butterflies. If you are patient enough to wait, you can witness two butterflies mating at the garden. In a small shop that sells souvenir items and house decors, I spotted and bought a beautiful butterfly artwork in a ceramic tile as remembrance of my visit.

It was starting to rain when we reached our next destination which was Mitra’s Ranch in Sta. Monica (owned by the late Senator Ramon Mitra). The ranch is one of the favorite picnic places that is open to the public. It offers a spectacular view of Palawan’s different islands, specifically the Honda Bay and its various islets with beautiful beaches.

We also passed by Baker’s Hill which sells delicious pastries, sweetened cashew nuts, etc. Their “hopia ube” tastes so good. They have a playground for children where one can enjoy eating their delicacies while enjoying the beautiful landscape.

We took a side trip to the city’s Baywalk. The place is very scenic and clean, and is comparable to Baywalk

in Roxas Boulevard, Manila (which, unfortunately, is now a thing of the past).

The final stretch of our journey was at the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral. In 1872, the Immaculate Concepcion was proclaimed as the Patroness of Puerto Princesa. The first mass was celebrated in the same place where the present cathedral now stands. It has an angular structure, different from most churches, that amazes visitors.

Not far from the cathedral is Plaza Cuartel. This was the former site of a Japanese garrison. One hundred

forty-three (143) American soldiers were burned inside a tunnel here during World War II. It serves as a Memorial Park in honor of local heroes and American soldiers. The names of those who died in the tunnel are on the memorial.

Puerto Princesa City, indeed, is beautiful. It has so much to offer to its visitors. There is certainly something for everyone – nature lovers, diving enthusiasts, and adventure seekers. The wonderful journey that we had will surely linger in our memories.

The Underground River Experience Purita P. Uson

PAARL President Despite our hectic schedule, we (the PAARL Board) saw to it that we see the world famous 8-kilometer Underground River that opens out to the South China Sea. We have heard many accounts of amazing trips to this popular attraction of Palawan.

So, on the fifth day of our stay in Palawan, after the grueling 2-day seminar and half-day city tour, off we went to Sabang Village, to see the Underground River, also known as St. Paul’s Subterranean National Park. Aboard a van, we left the St. Ezekiel Moreno Spirituality and Development Center at around 8:00 am. We brought with us snacks, packed lunches, drinks, walking slippers and sandals, insect repellents, swimwear, etc. Most of the trip from Puerto Princesa to Sabang is over well-paved roads but as we got nearer to Sabang, the ride was bumpy. However, the wonderful scenery made up for the little discomforts. We could only marvel at the lush greenery, marble mountains, and dense forests that surrounded us throughout the trip. It was drizzling along the way but thank God, it did not rain hard, lest we would get stuck in the muddy rough roads. The road to Sabang from Puerto Princesa is impassable during heavy rains. It took us about 2 hours to reach Sabang. As we disembarked at the Ranger Station, we were told that we will have to wait for long hours ( 5 hours at that!) before we get to our destination because around nine hundred (900) people have arrived ahead of us, all wanting to have a cruise of the river. We had no choice but to wait. We could not afford to miss the opportunity of seeing for ourselves the must-see tourist destination.

To while away time, we watched a short film (inside a makeshift room made of native materials) about the Underground River which served as a short introduction about the national park. As it was dark inside the room, we worried about contracting malaria, so we applied Off lotion lavishly on our exposed skins. After the film showing, we had an early lunch at a nearby beach. Waiting time was far from over so we decided to stay under the comforts of a vacant cottage which gave us a good view of the sandy white beach and the swimmers frolicking in the waters. To fight off boredom, we did all sorts of things like picture-taking, listening to music, strolling, taking a nap, telling stories, cracking jokes, and munching junk foods. Three of the Board members swam in the beach.

At past 3 pm, we were told that we were ready to board the boat that will take us to the Underground River. At last, the long wait was over! Excitement enveloped us as we rode on the boat wearing our lifejackets. Cameras flashed as our boat traveled past the pristine waters of the bay leading to the cave. After a 20-minute journey, the boat dropped us on a beach near the entrance to the cave. From there, we walked a few more yards until we got to the actual entrance. One of the Board members managed to go to the Monkey Trail where she saw some species of birds, and animals, including monkeys, of course. The entrance to the cave is a small, jagged limestone cliff just enough for a small boat to go through. We were given lifejackets and helmets before before cruising the river. As we inched our way inside the cave, our tour guide, who also paddled our boat,


pointed out various limestone formations (stalactites). He named them as mushroom, carrot, cucumber, corn, Sharon Stone’s sexy body, Jesus Christ’s shroud, and a lot more. The superb limestone formations elicited “Oooh”s and “Aaah”s from the group. As it was dark inside the cave, our boat carried a powerful lamp. Normal flash photography was not possible. Our cellphones’ cameras proved useless. It was quite cold inside the cave with occasional drippings from above the cave and bats flew over our heads every now and then. That’s what the helmets were for. At times, we would cross paths with boats carrying other explorers and we would say His and Hellos to one another.

The cave was huge and long (that makes it the longest river in the world) and the water was quite murky. It was eerie inside but the journey was awesome. Our round trip to the river took about 45 minutes only. So short a time compared to the long hours of waiting that we had to endure but it was all worth it. After coming out from the cave, we were led to a small floating barge where we posed for souvenir shots with the cave entrance as the background. It was a wonderful journey and we left with cherished memories of the remarkable place. I bet most of us are yearning to go back to this extremely interesting and unique river that is Palawan’s foremost pride.

Balangue Shares Acquisition Expertise Christine B. Arellano

Mrs. Jocelyn T. Balangue of DLSU-Manila and PAARL Treasurer is one of the most sought-after resource speakers in the field of Library Acquisition today.

PAARL Fellowship Luau Christine B. Arellano

Mrs. Loreto Garcia, PAARL President, welcomed everybody to the PAARL’s Fellowship Luau. The side garden was arranged by the Sisters and staff of St. Ezekiel Moreno Spirituality and Development Center and cocktail pineapples were prepared. Mr. Johann Frederick Cabbab of the UP School of Library and Information Studies had a poi exhibition at the start of the event. Participants in their Hawaiian costumes trooped the venue and were seated in

groups with their respective leaders who pre-assigned the game contestants. PAARL Board and Committee Members surprised everyone with a hula dance. Games, raffle prizes and special awards followed. Talented librarians also showcased their talents in singing and dancing. It was a fun-filled night for everyone!
