The word “Irawan” means “lamp” in Filipino
language literally, indigenous tribes lighted up fire on the bamboo during the
nights in IrawanForest, that is the original use since colonised period by
Japan. There are tribes
still existing on the site, you can see
they still use traditional bamboo made houses and living styles on the site,
also fortunately we have the cooperation between Irawan Eco Park and
environmental protection of Irawan watershed by government, which maintain a
wonderful and clean source of water use in Puerto Princesa City, this river is
also essential for local tribes’ water use for drinking, laundry by hands and
leisure life.
The wise environmental protection also has stoped
mining and logging of trees happening in Irawan, becuase of the sustrainable concern, organic vegetable and solar power
have been used in the Irawan Eco Park, we invite all the visitors worldwide to understand
our land and story by our local tour guides.
