Hello Ken, Palawan is in Luzon. 🙂

Thank you for noticing sir Mark but it’s not only you who thinks that Palawan is not part of Luzon. Actually, Palawan is part of Luzon. 🙂
Where in the world did you get that info? Did Luzon just claimed it recently because most of the beautiful places is in the Visayas? Do some more diggings please. We learned it since elementary school that Palawan is part of the Visayas, not unless the whole province drifted towards Luzon.
Hello Grace, it doesn’t mean that it’s not connected it is not a part of it. It doesn’t need to drift. That’s why its called a big group of islands. Thank you for reading, do come again.
Hint: it is part of MIMAROPA Region. Please do some research. What you have learned since elementary might be wrong. 🙂
