Its capital is Puerto Princesa City, and it is the largest province in the country in terms of total area of jurisdiction. The islands of Palawan stretch from Mindoro in the northeast to Borneo in the southwest. It lies between the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea. The province is named after its largest island, Palawan Island, measuring long, and wide.
Palawan is composed of the long and narrow Palawan Island, plus a number of other smaller islands surrounding the main island. The Calamianes Group of Islands, to the northwest consists of Busuanga Island, Culion Island, and Coron Island. Durangan Island almost touches the westernmost part of Palawan Island, while Balabac Island is located off the southern tip, separated from Borneo by the Balabac Strait. In addition, Palawan covers the Cuyo Islands in the Sulu Sea. The disputed Spratly Islands, located a few hundred kilometres to the west is considered part of Palawan by the Philippines, and is locally called the Kalayaan Group of Islands.
Palawan's almost of irregular coastline are dotted with roughly 1,780 islands and islets, rocky coves, and sugar-white sandy beaches. It also harbors a vast stretch of virgin forests that carpet its chain of mountain ranges. The mountain heights average in altitude, with the highest peak rising to at Mount Mantalingahan. The vast mountain areas are the source of valuable timber. The terrain is a mix of coastal plain, craggy foothills, valley deltas, and heavy forest interspersed with riverine arteries that serve as irrigation.
In AD 982, ancient Chinese traders regularly visit the islands. A Chinese author referred to these islands as Kla-ma-yan (Calamian), Palau-ye (Palawan), and Paki-nung (Busuanga). Pottery, china and other artifacts recovered from caves and waters of Palawan attest to trade relations that existed between Chinese and Malay merchants.
Because of Palawan's proximity to Borneo, southern portions of the island was under the control of the Sultanate of Brunei for more than two centuries, and Islam was introduced. During the same period, trade relations flourished, and intermarriages among the natives and the Chinese, Japanese, Arab, Hindu. The inter-mixing of blood resulted to a distinct breed of Palaweos, both in physical stature and features.
After Ferdinand Magellan's death, remnants of his fleet landed in Palawan where the bounty of the land saved them from starvation. Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler named the place "Land of Promise."
The northern Calamianes Islands were the first to come under Spanish authority, and were later declared a province separate from the Palawan mainland. In the early 17th century, Spanish friars sent out missions in Cuyo, Agutaya, Taytay and Cagayancillo but they met resistance from Moro communities. Before 18th century, Spain began to build churches enclosed by garrisons for protection against Moro raids in the town of Cuyo, Taytay, Linapacan and Balabac. In 1749, the Sultanate of Borneo ceded southern Palawan to Spain.
In 1818, the entire island of Palawan, or Paragua as it was called, was organized as a single province named Calamianes, with its capital in Taytay. By 1858, the province was divided into two provinces, namely, Castilla, covering the northern section with Taytay as capital and Asturias in the southern mainland with Puerto Princesa as capital. It was later then divided into three districts, Calamianes, Paragua and Balabac, with Principe Alfonso town as its capital.
Many reforms and projects were later introduced in the province. Construction of school buildings, promotion of agriculture, and bringing people closer to the government were among the priority plans during this era.

Fit & Fun: Tips from a pro for yoga newbies
Posted: at 11:14 am
Fit & Fun |
You want to try yoga, but don't know vinyasa from hatha. No matter, studios will welcome you. Just show a bit of etiquette and savvy, says Seattle native Isabelle Casey, who now teaches yoga in Atlanta.
Bring water, a hand towel and a mat. Most studios rent or lend them, but it's nice to have your own. "Your mat, your germs, plain and simple."
Do not wear shoes. "You could try yoga socks that help prevent slipping, but practicing barefoot is highly encouraged."
Wear workout clothes without pockets, zippers, buckles or buttons on the back or abdomen. When practicing hot yoga, where temperatures and humidity swell, wear breathable material.
Go easy on perfumes or colognes. "It's best to keep the studio in a neutral state."
Don't be loud or chatty. "The yoga space is intended to be a sanctuary where one may go to decompress from the day."
Listen LISTEN to the instructor so you can learn how to do the poses safely and to the most benefit.
Be on time. You don't want to miss the warm-up. "It's an issue of both safety and respect."

Fit & Fun: Tips from a pro for yoga newbies
Yoga Body Bootcamp comes to Vail
Posted: at 11:14 am
VAIL Yoga Body Bootcamp (YBB) is a new yoga-fitness hybrid, and Vail Vitality Center at Vail Mountain Lodge & Spa is hosting a one-day introduction to this new workout on Sunday from 9 to 10:30 a.m. with Tracy Long.
YBB is best described as a combination of The Biggest Loser, Amazing Race and Survivor mixed with the inner stillness of yoga. This ever-evolving, total-body workout was created by Deborah Williamson, owner of Midwest Power Yoga and co-founder of Live, Love, Teach (200- and 500-hour yoga teacher training programs).
People can expect the unexpected at Yoga Body Bootcamp, said Long, YBB trainer. Between the limitless yoga poses, which we convert to interval stations, and the different mix of people within the group, you never know how the class is going to unfold. Add spontaneity, laughter and a good dose of middle school gym class and that equals a good YBB class.
This one-day class offers a mixture of traditional yoga poses and fitness bootcamp stations.
Anyone can benefit from YBB, Long said. If you're a regular yoga practitioner, you'll have the opportunity to dramatically increase your strength and cardiovascular stamina, while enjoying a more interpersonal connection than most yoga classes offer. If you love fitness classes and yoga seems a little too spiritual,' rest assured you will get the repetition you need to master the poses, in addition to a physically demanding workout.
Long is a lifelong athlete who first came to yoga in 2001 in an attempt to stretch muscles made fantastically tight from running. A few years later, she decided to focus on health and fitness and received her initial 200-hour yoga certification in 2008. She then attended her first training in 2009 with her primary teacher Baron Baptiste.
Cost for Yoga Body Bootcamp at Vail Vitality Center is $10 in advance, or $15 the day of the workshop. This rate applies to members and guests. For information or to register for Yoga Body Bootcamp on Sunday at Vail Vitality Center, visit http://www.vailathleticclub.com or call 970-476-7721.

Top Three Females to Watch Perform Yoga
Posted: at 11:14 am
Yoga is a great way to get a workout, and it can be intriguing to watch others that are skilled in the practice perform yoga poses (asanas). By watching others we can learn correct posture and see what is possible when you set your mind to mastering any given skill. I will highlight the top three, highly skilled females to watch perform yoga
#1 Equinox's Briohny Smyth
Not only does Briohny Smyth look great performing yoga, she does so with strength and and perfection. Her flexibility and arm strength is amazing to watch in action. Watch Briohny on YouTube as she lifts herself into a handstand with merely her arms. The video also shows her performing the crane pose, headstand and more.
Briohny is a yoga instructor and she says, "Backbends are always misunderstood in yoga, and many yogis end up injured due to the misconception that we backbend solely in our low back, when you really want to think about creating space in the low back. In my classes, I teach awareness around 'heart opening' so more yogis are aware of how to backbend safely."
#2 Genevieve Rivera
YouTube shows Genevieve Rivera perform an amazing yoga workout. By watching her perform asanas you can see the abundant amount of flexibility she has, as well as strength in her legs, arms and core. Genevieve performs numerous poses, including the eight-angle pose and the firefly pose, smoothly flowing from one asana to the next. Genevieve manages to make some of the most difficult yoga postures appear to be easy since she seems to perform them with such ease.
Genevieve is a registered yoga instructor and says, "I believe that having yoga in my life has given me the most amazing gift of all it is the gift of AWARENESS. This awareness has shown me how the ego will drive us to injure ourselves, while judgment can defeat our love of yoga. I have become aware of my breath, my body, my mind, my ego, and my judgments. No matter what path lies ahead of me, I will always carry these lessons with me."
#3 Carmen Electra
While this video shows pictures rather than a live performance, you can still see how excellent Electra is at yoga. Asanas include the lord of the dance pose and a backbend with one leg in the air. Carmen performing yoga is quite different than some of her previous workouts, such as her aerobic striptease DVD series.

Veteran coach brings experience to TCU
Posted: April 24, 2012 at 1:15 pm
When a program undertakes an ambitious rebuilding regimen, it is necessary to have leadership well versed in taking programs to the next level.
The Horned Frogs mens basketball team is that program this season, and first-year assistant coach Rob Evans is that leadership.
Im very excited to be here at TCU, he said. This is a program on the rise.
Fort Worth is the latest stop on the coaching carrousel for Evans, who has spent the last 42 years of his life coaching basketball at the Division I level.
In that time span, he has rightfully earned a reputation as a program builder, someone who excels at taking struggling teams and aiding them in their rise to prominence.
He did it at Arizona State University, where he led the Sun Devils to postseason appearances in four of his eight seasons. He did it at Ole Miss before that, where the Rebels made it to the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years during his tenure after having made it only once before.
Before those head coaching stops, Evans spent time working as an assistant with TCUs future Big 12 Conference mates Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. From Stillwater, Okla., to Oxford, Miss., Evans has succeeded in taking his teams to the next level.
The secret to his style lies within his unwavering commitment to doing things the right way, all the time, he said. The 65-year-old from Hobbs, N.M., exudes an aura of calm that comes with living a consistent life.
We know we have to follow our plan, he said, adding the need for people [to] believe in the program.
Evans garners that belief by engaging in practices that are above ground, both on and off the court.
