upon arrival, we're that excited!
Thanks to Cebupacific's P1 fare for this trip, great savings on our part!

Dumaguete, as a well known province was only one of the city of Oriental Negros, before this trip i actually thought that Dumaguete is like Iloilo, a province in a whole that comprises many municipalities. I was told by a native there that even their place is Sibulan, still when asked where they live they tend to answer "from Dumaguete." This because, Dumaguete is much more known to us than other places in Oriental Negros, therefore saves them from further inquiry.

Our trip to Oriental Negros was coincidentally in time for Sibulan's Fiesta - where we stayed - therefore we were surprised by the event that we have not prepared ourselves that we are visiting 6 houses for a day's meal, at first we actually felt challenged and excited, but upon reaching the fourth house, we almost begged our host to take us home, that we're so full and cannot take to have another house visit. 😊
The houses we visited were so hospitable that you will really feel at home.

On our 2nd day here, we went to one of the beaches in San

similar to manila's baywalk
Jose, full of fun, we go boating and funny here is that we got overloaded in a small banca that it turns upsidedown, lucky for us we havent gone far from the shore, full of laughter and good food. The beach is somewhat exclusive, we have it all by ourselves.

We have not fully maximized our stay here as the weather prohibits us, we were not allowed to visit Apo Island as it rains heavily, same with the famous waterfall of the province 😞

Im glad i have been here.
