6 Reasons Why Puerto Princesa Underground River Should Be Part of New 7 Wonders of Nature

Underground River is the Philippines' pride and the only nominee to the  New 7 Wonders of Nature. Located in Bgy. Sabang, 81 kilometers north of the center of Puerto Princesa City in the province of Palawan, the Underground River (also known as St. Paul  or Puerto Princesa Subteranean River National Park) is indeed a true wonder of nature and God's gift to mankind. Underground River deserves, in my unbiased opinion, to be included in the the top 7 Wonders of Nature.

Entrance to the Underground River cave

The Underground River Park has total land area of 22,202 hectares in which is nestled an 8.2 kilometers navigable underground river which runs beneath the limestone karst mountain that flows directly into the South China Sea. It is the longest underground river in Asia and second longest in the world. Inside the underground river are major formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers that reach up to 60m high and 120m wide.

The La Venta Geographical Association,  a highly- respected group of Italian scientists and researchers, unearthed 6 main reasons why Puerto Princesa Underground River should be included in the  New 7 Wonders of Nature.

1. Puerto Princesa Underground River represents one of the most largest and important underground estuaries of the world
2. Puerto Princesa Underground River hosts one of the most complex cave systems in the world
3. Puerto Princesa Underground River possesses very high amount of energy resulting from its unique thermal equator location, super marine climate and combination of wind, humidity and strong variable air fluxes that has the capacity to offset the effects of high-impact tourism. This characteristic makes Puerto Princesa Underground River naturally sustainable
4. Puerto Princesa Underground River contains scientifically and aesthetically unique cave formations from secondary mineral deposits not found elsewhere
5. Puerto Princesa Underground River hosts unique macro and micro cave formations that allow scientists to conduct studies on the relationship of tides and the speed of fresh water flow. These studies, which were never done before, will provide better understanding of our planet's evolution, and the most exciting reason is
6. The discovery of a 20 million year-old fossil of sirenia or sea cow in a remarkably perfect condition embedded in the walls of Underground River. The specimen found is the first in the Philippines and in this part of the world!

For more information, details and explanations about the discoveries of the La Venta Group of the Underground River, please watch the video below and  click here to visit official website of the Underground River.

I have visited Underground River a number of times already even before it became popular to tourists and caught the attention of the world. My first visit to Underground River was in the summer of 1996 with a group of fellow student writers from Palawan State University and College Editors Guild of the Philippines Southern Tagalog chapter. At that time, Underground River was unknown to the outside world except to few adventurous tourists, but the scale of scientific research activities by the scientists and conservation efforts by the City Government of Puerto Princesa, communities, and non-government organizations were already massive. Today, Underground River has become a major tourist attraction of Puerto Princesa City, and a model for effective protected area management in the Philippines.

Online Advertising Alternatives to Google Adsense

Online advertising or advertising through the use of the Internet to appeal to customers is one major tool website publishers or bloggers use to make money online.  Currently, Google Adsense is the number one in online advertising. That is the reason why many publishers and bloggers (myself included) apply to Google Adsense program to be allowed to display targeted Google ads on their websites or blogs. Google Adsense provides a good stream of revenues for most publishers. Unfortunately, the terms of service (TOS) of Google Adsense especially for some countries including Philippines has been very strict and many publishers are rejected. I remember my mentor telling me that websites must be at least 6-months old or at least have 100 blog posts before it can be admitted in the Google Adsense program. For some publishers this tactic worked, but for others it did not work. Other publishers are accepted in Google AdSense in the first instance. In my case, my application for Google Adsense was denied 3 times already for reasons unclear to me. It cited different issues why application was denied. I tried to fix those issues they raised, but every time I re-applied another issues were given. So I quit, maybe it's not for me. Anyway, I have moved on already and I simply looked for other online advertising alternatives to Google Adsense.

My experience with Google Adsense led me to discover many online advertising alternatives to Google Adsense. Yes, there are actually many of them. However, I did not go check all these Google Adsense online advertising alternatives. I reviewed a number of them which I found quite really good. But some of the really good ones are only accepting publishers with high volume traffic and are not interested with small publishers. But there are other good online advertising programs that accept small publishers and have very user-friendly system.

Here are the few ones I have reviewed and tried so far, and I recommend. The good thing about these alternatives is that they are compatible with Google AdSense, so if you have Google AdSense now, you can also combine them to maximize your revenue-earning potential. Below are the ones I have tried and I will try to update this list of online advertising alternatives to Google Adsense once I have reviewed and tried the others as well.

1. Chitika Online Advertising Network. Chitika is a data analytics company in the business of online advertising founded in 2003 and based in Massachusetts, USA. Chitika is a South-Indian language which means "snap of the fingers", which suggest how fast customers would be able to put up ads on their websites. Chitika introduced its online advertising service in January 2004.

Chitika, through its vast global network, enables advertisers and publishers to maximize yields in their online advertising campaigns. Processing of application is very fast and Chitika ad codes are easy to implement. For more information click here to visit Chitika website  or you can use the link below to sign up.

   

2. ExitJunction is another online advertising program alternative for Google AdSense. ExitJunction is an innovative, non intrusive, exit-traffic monetization solution. Non intrusive because ads are invisible and do not destroy the experience of your readers. Ads only appear when the visitors of your website hit the exit button and leave your site. What ExitJunction does is to convert exiting traffic into money, the first of its kind really! ExitJunction Ads can be used together with Google AdSense since the ads are not contextual. For  more information click here to visit the ExitJunction website. Or you can also sign up below.

3. AdBrite  is the next best alternative to Google Adsense, at least to my experience and I highly recommend it. You can run it with other ad networks and compatible with Google AdSense, too. It is easy, efficient and effective. Click here to visit the website of AdBrite and sign up.


4. Infolinks, Inc. is a new online in-text advertising program created in 2007.  It provides pay-per-click online advertising services. Just like other online advertising programs, registration is free. Infolinks provides its publishers highest revenue share. Installation of the ad codes in your website is easy and can be accomplished in just one minute. Click here to visit the website of Infolinks and sign up.

5. DynamicOxygen is the last online advertising I'l recommend. DynamicOxygen is the newest having started only in 2010, but is also showing to be another best alternative to Google AdSense. It is open to all publishers worldwide, yes, even outside the U.S. and without restriction to size, traffic volume and popularity, enabling them to realize their full revenue potential.  DynamicJunction also accepts all international traffic, and also you get to enjoy timely payment and excellent technical support.

Automatic Way of Saving Money

Saving money is important to wealth generation and in our journey to financial freedom. If you want to achieve financial freedom, then you must decide to start saving money NOW while you are still actively working and and have the capacity to make money, and not LATER. I know it is not always easy to save money on a regular and consistent manner because of so many bills and expenses we need to take care of, unless we consider savings as an expense.

Right Definition of Savings

One important tool to use to save money is to develop a budget that incorporates automatic saving plan. Most of us define savings this way: Savings = Income less Expenses. This means all our money or income goes first to other people. We pay other people first by spending our money for our living and other expenses like home amortization, credit card payments (a very expensive debt), entertainment, and all other types of living expenses. With this approach, we can only save if we have money left over, which is almost always the case no money is left over to save at the end.  

However, the best way to look at savings is this way: Living Expenses = Income less Savings (and Tithes and Offering, if you believe in it). Well, I do that's why I included it. In this way, you are deducting your savings from your income and paying yourself first. This is now the money you set aside for your future needs, especially when you can no longer work, or when you are temporarily out of job, or in times of other emergencies. Decide what fraction of your income you wish to save regularly to cover for your future needs. Whatever money is left after deducting your savings can now be allocated to your living expenses. It is important that you keep a list of all your living expenses and compare it with your budget to help you stay within your budget.      

Saving Money Automatically

To help you develop your savings habits, first thing you need to do is to open a savings account. All banks including cooperatives offer savings account, but the bank I use and what I recommend is Bank of the Philippine Islands or BPI. The great thing about BPI is that it has wide array of savings account products you could choose from depending on your purpose and they help you to save money automatically. BPI has also a user-friendly online banking facility. At least to my experience compared with other banks.

Among the saving account products of BPI, one product that I like best and recommend for beginners is BPI Save-Up Automatic Savings. If you do find saving money regularly and consistently a bit of a challenge, you should opt for automatic savings account. This kind of savings account help you to save money the easy way. With BPI Save Up Automatic Savings, you can develop your savings habits automatically.  What's even more appealing is that it's a combination of savings with life insurance coverage. All you have to do is open a BPI Save-Up Automatic Savings account with any BPI branch nearest you. It does not require an initial deposit, with a required minimum monthly balance of only P1000.00. BPI Save-Up Automatic Savings account comes with ATM card and an info card for your savings account, which is a sub-account to your savings account.  Next is you need to determine the amount of money you wish to save and its frequency. You will indicate upon opening an account how often and the amount you want to save which the bank will then automatically save for you. It's automatic transfer into your savings account. You can decide to save every pay day or whatever time interval you wish. Just tell your bank and they will do it for you for FREE! You can monitor your savings as it grows through the BPI online banking facility.

Developing Saving Habits

Developing your savings habits does not happen overnight. It takes some time, but the point is, it is possible. Do not be discouraged. If you do not have much money to save and your budget is tight, that is fine. You can start small, maybe five percent or more of your income. It may not be significant and that means longer time for you to accumulate a sizable amount of savings. The point is for you to save money, even if small. The key to saving money and developing your saving habits is to do it consistently.  And you can use the automatic savings account to help you on that. Once you become used to it and gain a better handle of your finances, you can gradually increase the amount you save. You can always adjust the amount of money to save save by advising your bank. Saving money will take time, what is more important is you save and  save consistently.
