Hi greenman,
Citibank do have branches over there, just not a whole lot. Limited to manila, Makati, Cebu, Quezon etc.
Here's a bit of a list:
www.citibank.com.ph/gcb/deposits/learn_more_banking_branches_ctna.htm And here's the locator tool:
www.findmyciti.com/ph/ But I can't make it work unless I know the address of say an ATM.
On the other hand a GooGle search for citibank batangas brings up:
Citibank

And if I click the top one on that page I get something like this:
Citibank
Advertising Agency
Address: SM Hypermarket Batangas, National Road, Corner Provincial Road, Batangas, 4200 Batangas, Philippines
Phone:+63 43 783 1747
The second one gives me an ATM:
Citibank Savings Bancnet ATM
Automatic Teller Machines
Address: Citibank Savings, National Highway, Across Univ. of Batangas, Kumintang Ibaba, Batangas, Philippines
This post should probably also be in managing Money I guess. But it might be useful in the context of 'cost of living' because I got a shock when I saw how much withdrawing money at 7-11 stores cost me in fees!
Hope this is useful,
