Thanks for your comments sir! There very much appreciated! I have flown Tiger Airways to Clark a lot of time's, it is budjet and you get what you pay for.. But It is a good trip. okay, the way i got to Banaue was via a 6hr bus trip!! from Manila Bus Terminal, Although Tiger Airway's lands in Clark Airport which is in Angeles city (few hours away from Metro Manila) so you will be closer to the Ifugao province (aka Philippine Cordillera) I am sorry, i dont have any 100% information from trips to/from angeles city to banaue area, although there are flights to nearby Baguio city (from Manila), Transport in the Philippines is very easy to find, and very cheap, although I don't think you want to take a Jeepney up the Mountains on those scary roads. I suggest looking for a Bus Terminal in Angeles area, they usually have a lot of bus's sitting there with signs saying where they are to go, Try to reach Baguio, In baguio you have many options, it is not just Banaue, you can visit Kalinga, sagada, Bontoc etc.. I have looked over all my notes when i traveled around the Philippines, I have no information of any service to Angeles, although i know MANY, MANY! Bus's pass through to Baguio, although they may be using the Highway detour that pass's Angeles city in itself, I have to say it is possible to reach Baguio (from angeles) on a shedule, but it is more convienient if you depart from Manila. I strongly suggest a Lonely Planet book on the Philippines, I have basically grown up around the Philippines and know my way around, but the lonely planet book is a really good help. Many people take the sheduled tour bus up to Sagada and area's, if you do so it will be much easier to get around without getting lost. Baguio city is fairly far from the Rice Terrace's and you will likely have to take another bus or even a jeepney to the Terraces. I hope any of this helps, It sure is a nice place, You can also see some of the traditional igorot Tribal Village's, there are some still in preservation, although i am not sure of the exact location. Get that lonely planet book, it will help a LOT! heheh. If you do travel to the philippines, And plan on goin around the islands, your in for a treat! Cebu, Boracay, Bohol, Palawan, Mindoro just to name a few, are some really unique destinations off the tourist trail, this is the real stuff! Keep in mind, transportation in the Philippines follows a shedule, but some just leave when the bus is full, and like most SE asian countries, avoid scams with taxi's etc.. some of the Philippine Bus-drivers are known to scare the life out of even the best travellers with their driving skills (absolutely crazy), so be prepared, If you think your life is in danger don't hesitate to get angry to the bus driver, i have done it and he has slown down. Your in for a culture shock, the people in the Philippines are what brings people back, there absolutely amazing, you will find out for yourself if you visit. There are a lot more options if you depart from Manila, There are heaps of bus lines that do the trip via different highways. I am not sure if there are any from Angeles clark, although it is likely, but i am not promising there is. Most bus's will stop in the middle of the road if you wave them down, so it could be possible, but the bus's that pass Angeles go via the Highway, the nearest is a 6-lane mega-highway so you won't be waving down bus's there.. Tiger airways and Air Asia serve angeles airlines (both bargain airlines) Im not sure if i can help your if you depart from Angele's, im sure you can inquire about it at a local Angeles government site or similar. Okay, if you need any more info just reply here, i wil try my best to help.			PhilippinesPhilippines "Eighth Wonder of the World" tomauer (306)
