Will my eSIM work on the dive boats in Anilao?

On land and at the resorts, yes. Out on the dive boats and underwater you'll be offline, which is normal. Confirm your dive schedule and pickups while you still have signal onshore in Mabini.

Does one eSIM cover Batangas and my other Philippine stops?

Yes. It's a single national Philippines plan, so the eSIM you use for Laiya and Anilao also works in Manila, Boracay or Cebu — no need to buy a separate SIM for each region.

Good to know in Batangas

Diving is the whole point in Anilao, and you'll be offline underwater and on dive boats — message resorts and confirm pickups on land first, and keep a power bank going in the humid heat.

Best time to visit Batangas

The dry months of November to May give the calmest seas and clearest water for diving; December to February is coolest and busiest at the beaches.

Two simple ways to buy

Batangas eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Batangas eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Batangas — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Batangas eSIM: your local data guide.

Batangas is Manila's weekend escape — world-class muck diving off Anilao, the white sands of Laiya in San Juan, and the heritage streets of Taal town beneath its brooding volcano. A Batangas eSIM lets you book a dive, message a resort in Nasugbu and post from the beach, even when the coast road winds far from any town.

One eSIM for Batangas and all of Philippines. It's the national Philippines eSIM — from $3.45/day with unlimited data, working the same in Batangas as it does the moment you leave it.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Batangas.

Anilao (Mabini)

Resorts along the point have 4G, but dive boats and underwater time mean planned offline stretches.

Laiya (San Juan)

The beach strip is well covered for booking, food delivery and posting from the sand.

Taal Heritage Town

Steady data among the ancestral houses and the basilica for maps and history look-ups.

Calatagan & Nasugbu

Coastal resorts hold usable signal, though it fades on the quieter capes and cove roads.

The practical bit

Getting around Batangas on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Batangas

Grab— Available in Lipa and Batangas City for cars, though it thins out in the beach barangays.
Waze— Vital for the SLEX/STAR expressway and coastal roads down from Manila at weekends.
GCash— The everyday super-app for paying dive shops, resorts and tricycles by QR code.
Klook— Books Anilao dive packages, Laiya stays and transfers down from Manila.

How long to stay in Batangas

Batangas is usually a two- to three-day weekend break from Manila for diving in Anilao or beach time in Laiya, sometimes en route to Puerto Galera.

How much data for Batangas

For a diving or beach weekend where you're often offline on the water, a light-to-balanced 3 GB is usually enough; choose Unlimited if you'll hotspot or stream at the resort.

Coverage in Batangas

Resort strips and towns like Lipa, Batangas City, Laiya and Anilao carry decent 4G, but dive boats, underwater time and the quieter capes toward Calatagan see coverage fade or disappear.
