Western Philippines University (WPU)

The only agricultural college in the province, it has campuses in the capital Puerto Princesa and in Aborlan, just 67 kilometers south of Puerto Princesa. The Food Technology Department has turned local produce into delectable treats such as casuy (cashew) wine and candies. The ride to Aborlan is a treat in itself. The grand Iwahig River, a few minutes into the drive is a breathtaking sight. The route takes the traveler through the sub-colonies of the Iwahig Penal Farm, providing a glimpse into the life of the inmates as they plant the vast rice and corn fields within Iwahig. At the Tacduan, monkeys crossing the zigzag road in troops are a common sight. This coastal stretch of the national highway offers a panoramic vista of Puerto Princesa Bay, the Sulu Sea and the city of Puerto Princesa City and the spires of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral.
