I'm Australian and Villa Escudero is one of my favourite childhood memories. Used to go regularly as a kid when we visited family in Manila. I'm 40 now and I'm sorry to say I haven't been back to the Philippines in many, many years. Need to go back soon.

*Fun fact: Talking about tribes. All pre-historic tribes of the Pacific(Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, New Zealand, Easter Islands, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, French Polynesian Islands) shares its roots from the Astronesian people from Formosa(Taiwan). Evidenced by their dire cultural similarities(head hunting practices, tattoos, religious practices), languages. There's also a study that verifies they shares the same dna. You guys should visit the former head hunter's village on the Northern mountainous province of the Philippines. You could also spend a night in Mt. Pinatubo crater on the way there.*

They also allow trekking on the Banaue rices teracces and visit a falls. From there you could go up north to visit the famous hanging coffins of Sagada(bring trekking gears and cash as there's a limited amount of atm). From Sagada you could go down North East on the towns of Vigan and Laoag to visit some Spanish era towns and from there down south you could end the trip on La Union the surfing capital of Luzon.
