Virgin Beach

When you hear of Batangas, one thing would surely cross your mind—and that is, the beach. Without a doubt, the place is famous for its wide array of beaches, from white sand to diving sites. It has truly become a popular (and nearer) getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. With only a 2-hour drive away from Manila, a day or two in the province during the weekend is truly one to remember. Laiya in San Juan is now famous for its white sand beach resorts. Anilao is a known all over the world as divers’ paradise. There are other great selections in Nasugbu and Calatagan. So whether you are the adventurous type who is game for any water sport or the more laid-back type who just wants to sit back and relax while watching the waves of the sea, then you should visit Batangas beaches.

2. PARTY ON THE STREETS

Mahaguyog Festival

Batangenyos are naturally festive. There are just never too many reasons to celebrate. One great festival to witness is the Parada ng Lechon in Balayan every 24th of June wherein roasted pigs are displayed throughout the whole town. Another exciting one is the Tapusan festival in Alitagtag celebrated during May 31. This festival honors the holy cross, and flowers surround the floats which carries the image of the Virgin Mary. Then, Subli-an sa Batangas, celebrated during city’s Foundation day, shows the original Batangas dance known as subli accompanies by four choral voices. Stay in the province during the month of May and you will witness several fiesta celebrations. That is because it is when the barrio and town fiestas usually take place. It is an event not to miss for the typical Batangueno. In the fiestas, even if you are not invited by the host of the party, but since a friend invites you, you can go.
