Baguio is also quite near if you are that way, make sure you drive up the valley to the city, it is breathtaking. Visit Mines View Park for the view of the mountains and take a stroll around the lake in the city centre.
My house is over to the east of Luzon the other side of Cabanatuan under the mountains, for me it is a stunning place to be.
As for malaria, the Doc has written extensively about how to protect yourself. But you just need to use common sense. Use a mosquito net at night (buy one here) and if you need to, use a repellant if you are out in the evening.
Have a lovely trip
