Banaue to Vigan directly without going through Baguio? - Serpentine Road Running Through Autumnal Forest

I want to leave Banaue (anytime after say noon) and get to Vigan as quickly as possible without spending more than say 800 php. A few locals I've consulted say the best way is to go back south to Baguio then go north again to Vigan. This seems to me an unfortunately and unnecessarily long detour. Is there any faster way of getting to Vigan?
