WIA Episode 5 | IFUGAO-SAGADA Wonder

They say the mountains can calm you, heal you from a broken heart or give you fresh perspective in life.

In this episode of Woman In Action, we'll continue on with exploring the Cordilleras, this time in Ifugao and Sagada -- from its scenic mountain views, to its rich local culture.

Joining me in this trip is a big fan of the mountains herself, actress Angel Aquino, who grew up studying in UP Baguio, frequenting Sagada during her college days. She'll take us to her advocacy area in Banaue, Ifugao, as we visit the school children of several mountain schools that she has been visiting for her advocacy "Juan Day".

We will also be joined by contemporary indie-folk singer and song-writer Bullet Dumas, who brings the Filipino story and making magic everywhere he goes.

PLUS -- Let me fulfill a childhood dream and promise to someone who has been very close to my heart!

Join us in our Ifugao-Sagada adventure!
