Quezon Palawan
Named by the late President Manuel L. Quezon and officially named the Municipality of Quezon, is a first-class municipality in the province of Palawan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 65,283 people.
In the past, the municipality was named Tabon, but now it is a barangay of Quezon that discovered and found the Manunggul Jar. The old municipality (Tabon) was popular and derived from the name of the Tabon bird.
It is home to the Tabon Caves, where the remains of the Tabon Man were discovered. Tabon Cave is named after the "Tabon bird" (Tabon scrubfowl, Megapodius cumingii), which deposited thick hard layers of guano during periods when the cave was uninhabited so that succeeding groups of tool-makers settled on a cement-like floor of bird dun.
