After pissing off Egyptians in a ploy to update the list of the seven man-made wonders of the world, New7Wonders Foundation is at it again. The voting for the New 7 Wonders Of Nature is now underway with the 77 nominees from all over the world duking it out for the 21 slots reserved for the finalists. Only sites with an official committee to support the nomination were allowed to continue and by the looks of things, it’s quite easy to see that it will be a very contentious and divisive race to the top.
The Philippines is represented by the biologically diverse enchilada of the Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea. The prohibitive location and price of Tubbataha has made it quite a novel destination for the everyday traveler, but for the serious divers, naturalists and underwater photographers, the reef has long been a treasure trove of stunning discoveries and unforgettable experiences. Due to the remoteness of the reef itself and to further protect the underwater environment, diving in Tubbataha is limited to three months a year.
As of today, Tubbataha is in the middle of the pack at number 30.
To vote for your choice of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, visit the official website.
The Seven Natural Wonders that have the most votes as of posting are the following:
1. Cox’s Bazar, Beach – Bangladesh
2. Sundarbans, Forest – Bangladesh
3. Cocos Island, Island – Costa Rica
4. Ganges River, River – India, Bangladesh
5. Mount Everest, Mountain – Nepal, China
6. Amazon River, River/Forest – Peru, Brazil
7. Lake Atitlan, Lake – Guatemala

For an stupid reason, I mistakenly read “Tubbataha” as “Tutuban.” Lol.
And hey, based from the photos that you posted, Tubbataha Reef must be really beautiful.
bangladesh?!!
Yes, they have internet there apparently.
Bangladesh pwns!
The Chocolate Hills and the Underground River in Palawan should be there though… I just nominated them, I wonder if it will actually be included in the list.
I tried to vote but it needs my email address. Hmm… so I didn’t. I would have voted for the Amazon River. I am very proud of it even though I haven’t seen it yet. LOLs!
cheers!
I believe we can make Tubattaha win. Kung si Marco Torres nga dinaig yung libu-libong expat sa China para maging Olympic torchbearer e.
It would really be a great honor for our country to finally make the list so that we don’t have to insist that Banawe Rice Terraces is the eighth wonder of the world. Of course, I’m not saying that Banawe Rice Terraces is not majestic. I’ve been there myself and I would love to go back there again. All I’m saying is that it would just be nice to actually make the list! Kaya natin ‘to!
Thanks,
Lester

Balik ang chocolate Hills ngayon pero bakit wala pa rin ang Mayon? Pano namin sila maboboto kung wla sa choices? Please check it out! Daming boto ang nasayang ah!

Mayon Volcano was one of the nominees but how come it is not in the race anymore? We, Filipinos here in Los Angeles are asking why they removed Mayon? We are really supporting our quest for the wonders of the world by supporting all the Philippines’ nominees. We are looking forward to include Mayon again. Thanks!
