Located along the main highway of Puerto Princesa City in Palawan, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral stands as the ‘central church’ of the island. It is accessible along the Rizal Avenue, fronting the Rizal Monument and Park. For those who do not know “Rizal” comes from the name Jose P. Rizal, who is the National Hero of the Philippines, which is why his name is used in many streets, schools, towns, etc in the country.
