Viet Ville, Palawan

Another place that we visited last December 2018 in Palawan is Viet Ville, a former Vietnamese village, people who fled the Vietnam War in the early 70s and reached Palawan by boat. After many years, almost all Vietnamese refugees there have left, many went to the US, except one or two who stayed in the village until now. They run this restaurant serving Viet food and snacks. Yummy.


Among the few remaining structures that remained intact.


Buddhist temple.


And a Virgin Mary temple.


The trees have grown bigger while the original houses have become dilapidated, except a few where some locals plus the staying Vietnamese are living.


I saw this previously-cute, now-abandoned electric tricycle. These e-vehicles are cute and nice when they are new. Once engine and battery breakdown starts, there are not many spare parts available and skilled local labor to do the repairs and upgrades.


Thanks again for that tour, Pidro Sing.
