The Department of Tourism’s premier underwater photography shootout makes its much-anticipated comeback in one of the Philippines’ top diving destinations!

Join us for the Puerto Galera Underwater Shootout 2026, happening from September 16 to 20, 2026 in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, where professional and amateur underwater photographers, divers, and ocean enthusiasts from around the world will gather for five days of competition, camaraderie, and unforgettable underwater adventures.

Set against the breathtaking marine biodiversity of Puerto Galera, the shootout will showcase the destination’s vibrant reefs, fascinating macro subjects, and diverse marine life through the lens of underwater storytelling.

Known as the gateway to the “Center of the Center” of Marine Biodiversity and recognized as the Best Diving Destination at the DOT Tourism Awards 2025, Puerto Galera offers a spectacular backdrop for capturing the beauty of the Philippines’ underwater world.

Puerto Princesa Lollapalooza Watch Party wasn’t just a simple gathering—it was a full celebration of talent and fandom. 🇵🇭🔥

A’TIN Palawan gathered in full force for the P-Pop Kings SB19 Puerto Princesa Lollapalooza Watch Party in the early hours of July 31, 2026. The local fandom showed unmatched energy and solidarity, celebrating the historic global stage performance of SB19.

Attendees enjoyed exclusive fan merchandise and treats, courtesy of A’TIN Palawan chapter and a vibrant community atmosphere that brought the Lollapalooza excitement straight to Puerto Princesa. The successful gathering highlights the strong spirit of togetherness and passion for Filipino talent within the region.

The watch party was held in conjunction with the City Government’s Fun Run activity, allowing us to share the energy of SB19's performance with even more A'TIN and sports enthusiasts!

We extend our appreciation to the City Government of Puerto Princesa for hosting this event.
