From Manila to Sagada via Banaue

Via Banaue: Take an airconditioned Autobus (one way - P462/head) located in Manila. The bus leaves at 10pm everyday. We suggest that you get your tickets early, like 1 wk before your departure. Try to call this number 735-8096. I think we only had 2-3 stopovers along the way. We arrived in Banaue at 7am. Take a tricycle or jeepney from the bus terminal to the town proper to get a jeepney to Bontoc, a two-hour ride. There'll be some 2-3 stopovers to Sagada, mostly have great views to take pictures on. When you go back via Banaue: You may purchase your tickets at the bus terminal in Banaue when you arrived. The tour is the same, take a jeepney from Sagada to Bontoc then another jeepney to Banaue. The bus leaves at 530pm and you'll arrive in Manila 3-4am. We forgot how much were the jeepney fares, but we're sure the fares would not exceed P500 (bus to banaue not included) for the two of you, one way only.
