San Vincente Girl by Ryszard Wierzbicki
In terms of tourism, Palawan is the Philippines’ most popular and well-known island. Finding uncomplicated locations with calm and a pleasant atmosphere is difficult, though. Victoria, who owns two resorts in Palawan—one in Puerto Princesa and one in San Vincente on the island’s west coast—is a lucky woman whom I had the opportunity to meet. To spend a few days at Victoria Beach House in the town of Alimanguan, close to San Vincente, I was invited along with my Polish-American traveling companion Paul Drzazga. An outcome of one of my photographic strolls through San Vincente is the girl’s image. The girl’s smile is impressive because Filipinos are known for being exceedingly amiable and cheerful.
