Luggage and bags: -A belt bag is a big help when travelling to secure wallet, money and passport.
-On my trip to Sagada, found it helpful to secure cameras from water as well during spelunking.
-Not to tie on you waist but put around your neck (like shown in my photo).
-Water inside the cave can go as high as waistline (for a 5'7" like me).
Miscellaneous: -Headlight
-Strap on sandals
-Light weight shorts and shirts

Luggage and bags: Always travel light. A backpack to carry your stuff is good. A beltbag or a water-proof backpack for the trek to carry water, first aid kit, and other essentials during the trek. Zip lock plastic bags for your digicams, cellphones and videocams. Plastic for soiled clothes and an empty foldable bag for pasalubong to fill-up before you head home.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Light shirts, shorts, jogging pants.
A light raincoat in case it rains.
Jacket and sweaters, and socks it gets very cold at night till the early morn.
Trekking or hiking sandals or a durable pair of slippers will do but these will have to come off when spelunking.
A "malong" is VERY handy!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Medicine for motion-sickness, diarrhea, muscle pain, gas pain, fever,muscle pain, flu, and, did I say muscle pain? Alaxan is good.
Band aid and betadine for cuts.
Salonpas or a mentholated liniment for muscle pain.
Warning: you may get cuts and bruises during the trek and spelunking but Cuts and bruises are gone in a week but memories last a lifetime!
Photo Equipment: You can bring whatever kind of photo equipment just don't bring a trunk-full unless you are doing a documentary film or something and be sure to have protective covering for them. Ziplock bags are pretty handy.

Luggage and bags: bags with reliable locks (doors in the inns can be too flimsy), inflatable pillow for that sore back during the long travel, backpacks highly recommended, not your hardy trolley luggage

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: almost all basic toiletries and medical supplies are available, tampons may be scarce or not available
Photo Equipment: if you go caving, bring a reliable camera with good low light capability, and if you can, a waterproof model, a small tripod may be a good help (a big one will be cumbersome during hikes and climbs)

Luggage and bags: If you are taking public transport it is better to travel to Sagada with a backpack.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring a hoodie/jacket/sweater and socks for the cold nights.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Most regular brands of toiletries are available in the local market but if you have special requirements then better bring your own supply with you. Same with medicines.
Photo Equipment: Bring a good camera. There's a lot of photo opportunities up there! :) If you are planning to do a little spelunking, be sure to take a protective cover for your camera.
Miscellaneous: Bring sunscreen with you and USE it!!! The weather is deceptive up in Sagada. You might think the sun is mild. But believe me slathering sunscreen on your body is a MUST! or else you'll end up with sunburned skin!

Luggage and bags: Journey from Baguio to Sagada : Travel light. Backpack will suffice
Trekking : small backpack
Caving : do not carry any
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Journey from Baguio to Sagada : jacket and a neck pillow (long 7 hours journey)
Trekking : T-shirts, Sandals, Shorts
Caving : Swimwear (if not, T-shirts) Sandals (must have good grip!!), Shorts
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Own toiletries, towels and tissues. You might want to bring along some "babywipes" when doing caving as after caving you will find your hands and legs covered with dirt and guanos.
Elastoplasts for small cuts, deep heat rub for strained muscles.
Photo Equipment: Cables for downloading photos, enough memory cards and batteries for your camera. Some guesthouses do not have wire points for you to charge your batteries - you can charge them at the main reception area - check with the counter
Miscellaneous: For Caving - ziplocks for your camera. You will be getting wet when doing this activity. Hand your ziplocked camera to your guide. He will carry it in his bag for you. When you need to use it, ask for it.
Torchlight - it gets dark quite early. Not many street lights in Sagada.
* No need to take along your torchlight when doing Caving as the guide will carry a gas lamp to show the way.
