THE province of Palawan, consistently voted as World's Best Island by prestigious international organizations and publications, finally got its first batch of butlers after the Department of Tourism-Mimaropa Region recently held a butler training at Hotel Centro Puerto Princesa City.

The first of its kind in the country, the trailblazing program aims to help the archipelagic province keep in step with the demands and challenges in the local hospitality industry. Palawan has hosted global conferences and high-profile events in recent years.
