Yes its not an ordinary trip :) why? because we chose not to just visit and enjoy God's gift of nature but to help those children in Ifugao Province, most especially who resides in Banaue and Batad. The place is part of Cordillera Administrative Region of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Claimed to be the eight wonder of the world and included at UNESCO World Heritage. Batad is a village known for being the old head hunter tribe territory and has become something obligatory pilrimage for visitors looking for splendid rural isolation and unforgtatable extensive rice-terraces scenery, nestles in a natural ampitheater and close to the glorious Tappiya Waterfalls which is 21m high and has deep bracing pool for swimming. The perfect land for trekking with incomparable scenery.

Pleased to read about your trip. Have just come back from Banaue - my wife is Ifugao. We tried to help with local school school and church, painting and providing books. Would be pleased to hear if you plan to go again.
