After the war, on September 7, 1946, Republic Act No. 14 changed the name
Tayabas to Quezon, in honor of Manuel L. Quezon, the Commonwealth president
who hailed from Baler, which was one of the province's towns. Even before the
Philippines gained its independence, the province has already depended heavily
on coconuts.

TOURIST SPOT This is why this place is called

Borawan because it really is a
perfect mixture between
Boracay and Palawan.
Borawan is actually a beach,
not an island and is located on
Paglibao Island in Padre
Burgos.

Just like Borawan, Dampalitan is called

an island which is not. It is actually a
small peninsula that juts out from the
mainland of Quezon province. When we
visited this place there was hardly any
people here at all and we had a complete
run of the beach.

This amazing place is located less than

100 km away from Manila, and just one-
hour boat ride from the town of Mauban.
Cagbalete Island is famous for “hibas”,
which is the local term for low tide. During
this time, the ocean rolls right out and
exposes even more of the beautiful white
sand beach that is the main attraction of
this place.
 Puting Buhangin literally means white
sand. This is located on Paglibao
Grande Island and is about a 30-40
minute boat ride away from Borawan
beach. This area is also known as
Kwebang Lampas which is also the
name of the cave at the end of the
beach.

Salibungot Beach is a golden sand

beach situated on the western side of
the island. Although Jomalig Island
isn’t far from the coast of the
mainland, it can still take quite some
time to get there by boat from Real.
