OK, so now I´m confused. Are you or are you not in the Tagalog region?

My next question: are you in Gitnang Luzon (Region III)? (thank you Wikipedia!)

Ack! Facepalm.

Good catch, doctor. I mistyped. No, I am NOT in the Tagalog region. I am also not in Region III (Gitnang Luzon). Look further North young man [Wink]

Recap:

I am in the northern half of Luzon Island in the Philippines.

I am not in the Tagalog region (Central or Southern Luzon), Region III (Gitnang or Central Luzon), Ilocos or Manila.

I am in a place where Ilocano is spoken (though it may not be the only language).

I am above sea level (which should narrow it down a bit).

Are you in Cordillera?

Actually, I´m going to go ahead and guess Baguio City

Yes, I am in Cordillera, but not in Baguio City. Pretty close, though [Smile]

Are you in La Trinidad? So you know, my plan is to go through all the provincial capitals of Cordillera, from most populated to least. This all based on Wikipedia...

Nope. That will take a while, so I'll throw out a clue - this is one of the more well-known towns. It's a recently "discovered" tourist spot - just visited earlier this year, in fact.

Unfortunately the only other tourist spot in Cordillera that I know of are the rice terraces of Banaue, and as far as I understand that is not a city... So I´m still quite lost.

Soo... are you in Bangued?

I am not there, either.

The town I'm in has only recently become a tourist destination. It's commonly described as a more pristine version of Baguio.

Are you in Benguet province?

The list of tourist destinations that I get doesn´t give me anything obvious. It´s hard, because living in North America we know absolutely nothing of any of these places. For example, you say that it is a more pristine version of Baguio. Isn´t Baguio a city? Pristine is perhaps not a word that I would associate with a city...

Nope, not in Benguet province.

Baguio is a city, and I suppose the "pristine" part is a matter of perspective. This place I'm thinking of has been compared to what Baguio used to be like 50, 100 years ago.

Hmm, let me think of a clue that is more helpful, yet not too obvious...

One of the draws of this town is its interesting burial practices.

Right province, wrong town. The town is small, and about 4 hours away from Bontoc.

Another clue: besides the burial practices, this town also has:

a) pottery
b) small rice terraces
c) waterfalls
d) a viewpoint with a beautiful view of sunrises

there is one more tourist attraction, but if I reveal that, anyone could guess it with a quick Google search.

Nope as well. Keep trying though, I'm sure you'll get it in the next few tries.
