April/May diving in the Philippines

From 20th of April until the 5th of May we are planning to dive in the Philippines, but are really doubting what to do (too much options:) ). We want to combine diving with seeing something of the country. We are looking for a relaxed dive atmosphere, basic is no problem.
After reading travel books, this forum and other websites we came up with the coming options:

Option 1: Apo Island - Malapascua island and Palawan (flying on Cebu)
But we realize that this is a little to much for 2 weeks?
If we skip either Apo Island or Malapascua what should we skip?

Option 2: Apo Reef and staying on Luzon

Option 3: Tubbataha (liveaboard tips?) and Palawan or only Palawan

We have a little budget but it should be worth it. Any tips what to do?

Thank you in advance for your help!
