Together with his team of archaeologists, they found the “Cradle of Civilization” of the Philippines, the Tabon Cave Complex.
Tabon Cave is a 138-hectare cave facing the South China Sea, located at the Lipuun Point of Quezon, Palawan. It is alleged to have 215 caves inside, though only 29 of these have been fully explored. And for us to reach the said cave, we needed to spend 30 to 40 minute bangka ride from Quezon pier.
