EL NIDO PALAWAN
• El Nido is one of the most popular tropical paradises on Palawan Island. This coastal town is located on the northernmost tip of Palawan and home to an
abundance of stunning white sandy beaches and incredible lagoons (e.g., Big Lagoon, Small Lagoon and Secret Lagoon) waiting for you to explore.
• El Nido, also known as Bacuit, has been inhabited by humans since at least 2680 BC, possibly as early as 22,000 years ago. [7] This was confirmed by fossils and burial sites dating back to the Late Neolithic Age that can be
found in many caves and excavation sites surrounding the municipality, particularly in Dewil Valley's Ille Cave in New Ibajay. Chinese traders regularly visited the area of Palawan for its edible birds' nests during the
Song dynasty (960–1279). The island was mentioned in Chinese records of 1225. Chau Ju-Kua, a trade commissioner of the port of Chuan, wrote about the island, Pa-Lao-Yu or Land of Beautiful Harbors, in his book
Chu Fan Chi.[5]
• The town traces its roots from a small Tagbanwa village called Talindak. Sometime in the 16th century, waves of migrants from Cuyo Islands settled in the area. In the 1800s, the Spaniards arrived, and they moved to the
area where the present-day Población and Mabini are located. [5] The first Spanish families were the Canovas, Vázquez, Ríos, and Rey. In 1890, the Spaniards renamed it Bacuit. At the time, the center of the town was
Cabigsing, then known as Inventario. Chinese families moved into the area about the same period, first settling in Langeblangeban. The first Chinese settlers were named Lim, Chin, Liao, Edsan, Ambao, Que-Ke, Lim Piao, Yu
His, Pe Phan, and Pe Khen.[5]
• During the Spanish colonial era, the town was under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Taytay, which was the capital of the former Province of Calamianes from 1818, and the Province of Castilla, the area of what is now
known as northern Palawan, from 1858. It remained part of Taytay until 1916, when it formally became an independent municipality. [5] The new municipality was then known as Bacuit.
• On June 17, 1954, Republic Act No. 1140 [8] was approved, changing the name of the town from Bacuit to its present name, El Nido, after the edible nests of swiftlets (collocalia fuciphaga) found in the crevices of its limestone
cliffs. These nests, nido in Spanish, the main ingredient for the gourmet nido soup, are being sold at approximately US$ 3,000 per kilogram.[6]
