The Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) is now officially included in the famous list of the New7Wonders of Nature, the founder of the New7Wonders worldwide campaign declared Saturday.
The 8.2-km long Palawan river, together with the Amazon rainforest, Vietnam’s Halong Bay and Argentina’s Iguazu Falls, is now one of the world’s new seven wonders of nature.
“When your very own President Aquino came out in support of the PPUR campaign, I knew that this country was taking the New7Wonders of Nature seriously,” said Weber. “Fans of PPUR all over the world responded to his call for action by voting in record numbers and today’s confirmation is the well-earned reward for this extraordinary display of enthusiasm.”
The New7Wonders, founded in 2001 by filmmaker Bernard Weber in Zuric, is based on the same principle on which the seven ancient wonders of the world were determined. That list of seven wonders was attributed to Byzantium's Phylon in ancient Greece.
