Like you, I also found some similarities between Basic and Central Luzon.  I identified 12 possible shared innovations though I admit they’re pretty tenuous being mostly minor phonological items:

	*?ah			’not’ [neg]   | Could I have the data?
I have Itbayaten ah, what else is there? My ZDS has => PNP *aR (with *R > g in several)

	*?asel		‘foot, calf’ ??? | Could I have the data?

	*buklas		‘morning’	ok ZDS ~'tomorrow'YES! I had this

	*?a?sung		‘mortar’ ??? | Could I have the data?

	*mu			‘only’  ??? | Could I have the data?

	*muRa			‘anger’   ??? | Could I have the data?

	*ngepen		’tooth’ ??? | Weakening of *i in penult?

	*tapi?		floor, covering’ => Sorry, PPH *tapiq [ACD]

	*t/ar/ine{kng]	’straight’  YES! ZDS *tarineng THANKS!

	*?ubid		‘rope, string’ ??? | Loss of initial *l?

	*?uya			’this’ | Could I have the data?


I’m not supplying the supporting data here since you probably have it anyway.  My supporting data are in FileMakerPro, so that wouldn’t help you.
