Have data before the Wi-Fi question comes up
Airport Wi-Fi is fine for a message home and useless for the things you need on arrival: booking a ride, finding the hotel, checking in with the driver. An eSIM installed before you fly connects the moment your phone leaves airplane mode at PPS, on the local networks, with nothing to log in to. The plan only starts counting when it first connects in the Philippines, so you can buy it weeks ahead.
Installs in about a minute. No app, no account. Works on your phone or a full refund.
SIM cards at PPS
A Smart booth in the arrivals area; Globe and Smart outlets also on the departures side and just outside the terminal.
Arriving at PPS
Tricycles outside the arrivals hall, about 50 PHP per person to the city 3 km away; taxis from about 200 PHP. Grab coverage in Palawan is patchy, so do not rely on the app here.
