Dumaguete Travel Blogs

When I asked permission from my boss for a 1.5 day (Fri-Sat) vacation leave (VL) a month from our scheduled trip,  she asked me where I was going, and I said 'Dumaguete.' She asked me why I chose this place, and clearly at that time, I still had quite a vague idea of this destination. I just k…

There ARE several reasons to stay in Dumaguete  According to my guidebook, upon experiencing the capital 1 or 2 days, most people would want to move on. But, I say, not when you see the menu of options on offer though.  You could climb up Mt. Kanlaon or Mt. Talinis, trek the Twi…

I'm not really sure what is going on here in Dumaguete, but this place has some strange effect upon me.  There isn't really all that much to do here, its been raining for 7 days, and its difficult to find a meal that serves vegetables (that's the case all over the country).  Yet…

An expected Halloween short holiday to Siquijor Island with bunch of TB peeps, but ended up going with only my sister (kickasstunner) and Dennie (nomaden). Well, it's not like I didn't expect it either! haha!

T'was unplanned trip but turns out to be fun. Was able to do scuba diving (again) and explore the nature... Just known that Siquijor is that near to Dumaguete...watch out it'll be my next destination...

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Julia (Russia) We only spent an hour in Dumaguete to grab some breakfast and withdraw some money. We did however get to see this beautiful church and tower.

Dumaguete

People call this place "the city of gentle people." Why? Because life in this side of the world is literally "gentle." Less tall buildings, less air pollution, low cost of living, low crime rate, less career opportunities, daghang Badjao, home of Silliman, the city by the bay, a place where tricycles are big and people speak different bisaya. Life in dgte is slow-paced and laid-back. No taxi's (sa airport ra), and there are still one or two kalesa's roaming the city streets.

It was a trip amidst the bad weather. I just saw from the news on TV that Dumaguete had experienced unexpected street flooding. Oh well, I am about to find out for myself.
