Is Puerto Princesa safe for women?

Well, in my case, police are everywhere sometimes and you can really feel the people presence here in Palawan. People are generally hospitable, approachable, and easy to talk to. Most people are also very respectful and welcoming. It’s one of the things I love about living here. 💗
