Nickelodeon first announced on Monday in a press release that it would be building an "undersea attraction and resort" on Palawan, as part of a 400-hectare development with Coral World Park (CWP).

Palawan Island is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and has been called the "last ecological frontier of the Philippines".

Nickelodeon said the attraction is planned to include some of its iconic characters such as Spongebob Squarepants and Dora the Explorer. Read more...
