lemon dines is the president of la union surf club 09197650707. he'll help you get instructor (he teaches himself), board rentals, accommodation.

zambales is also good.  but the wave is not consistent now (it will be when its "south swell" which starts in july.  depending on the season, waves either come from the south or north, those facing the south get south swell, etc. its north swell now) and you have to take several rides to go to the surf spots. or bring a car. check forecast and call a local before you go.

dodo ramos is the president of zambales surfing association 09202504008.  he owns crystal beach resort (which has one of the 2 popular surf breaks in the province) and he also single-handedly developed zambales as a surfing destination.  the other surf break is pundakit. you can contact nora 09182788188 (owner of a resort named after her) or wilson 09218037158 (a surf instructor).

daet is also okay. call jan 09157699224

do surf, it'll change your life (from the movie "pointbreak")

good luck.
