2. Puerto Princesa Underground River: The Philippines' bet in the New7Wonders of Nature contest, the Puerto Princesa Underground River (PPUR) in Palawan, made it to the list of provisional winners announced on November 11. The tourist destination was supported by President Noynoy Aquino, who lead the campaign to urge Filipinos to vote for the PPUR though text messaging and on the Internet. Days after the announcement of the provisional winners, controversies involving the Zurich-based New7Wonders Foundation surfaced. Reports said Maldives and Indonesia withdrew from the contest because the organizers were allegedly collecting millions of dollars in surprise fees. The organizers denied this report.
