National Geographic features Palawan

International television channel, National Geographic, is set to feature the Philippines through Islands Insider, a Filipino-produced six-part documentary series that seeks to reveal cultural and historical insights on some of the country’s world-class destinations, which include the Batad Rice Terraces in Mountain Province, Coron in Palawan, Taal and Anilao in Batangas, Siquijor, and Mt. Pulag in Benguet.

Produced by The Extra Mile Productions, with support from the Department of Tourism (DOT), Islands Insider presents the Philippines in a different perspective and deviates from traditional travel shows by featuring stories as narrated by the locals, highlighting issues beyond the breathtaking sights, and delivering a strong preservation and conservation message.

In a special screening members of the press, blogging community, and tourism stakeholders enjoyed a two-episode preview of the show: Batad Rice Terraces and Coron. Secretary of Tourism Ramon Jimenez also graced the screening and expressed his delight as a partner of the project.

As the Department of Tourism endeavors to boost the country’s tourism potential and elicit renewed enthusiasm for the new campaign, it hopes this project will encourage more Filipinos to explore the Philippines, participate in preserving its rich cultural and historical heritage, and promote it to the rest of the world.
