Mabini is a municipality in the province of Batangas in the Philippines. It is named after Apolinario Mabini, a Filipino revolutionary hero. Mabini is also known for its diving and snorkeling sites.
Anilao
Anilao is the spot for divers and snorkel. There are several diving centers here where you can arrange trips to diving spots in Balayan Bay near Cape Bagalangit and near Sombrero and Maricaban Islands. Snorkeling is good off Maricaban's Cemetery Beach, Red Palm Beach, and around Sepok Point. Although the beach at Anilao is not really good for swimming, you can rent thatched bamboo rafts with tables and benches at the Anilao Beach Resort and other resorts there.
Mabini Shrine
The Shrine houses the remains and personal belongings of the late revolutionary hero and "Brains of the Katipunan," Apolinario Mabini. Mabini is known as the "Sublime Paralytic" who, despite his physical handicap, fired nationalism in the Filipinos and urged them to unite, with the sheer power of his writings. He wrote fiery articles against Spanish atrocities in revolutionary papers. His wrtings and memorabilia are kept here. His tomb lies at the middle of the site where a replica of the house where he was born also stands.
