And here are my top 10 caves in the Philippines that I have visited.
1. Puerto Princesa Underground River, Palawan (It is my number one since its both an underground river and a cave. In fact, it is second longest navigable underground river in world. It has 24 km. long cave, which contains an 8.2-kilometer-long underground river.)
2. Calbiga Cave, Western Samar (The largest cave system in the Philippines, reputed to be the second largest in Asia and the world's third largest karst formation, is 7 km. long with an area of 900 square km.)
