Next week I will be heading to Malapascua and Moalboal. What kind of thermal protection will i need?

I tend to be cold in the water in a wetsuit and would much rater cut a hole in the ice here and dive my drysuit. I have a 3mm full suit and a hood which I will use and I can bring a vest to help but will this be enough. WHat will the water temp. be?
 
Currently it's about 26-27 but on the rise in Malapascua. Most people are ok with a 3mm. But if you get cold easily then I recommend adding a hooded vest, or getting a 5mm. Or one of these :) Thermalution.com
