Rock It!

Dumaguete City is the capital, principal seaport , and largest city of Negros Oriental.

Siliman University is in Dumaguete City, which i believe, is the first American university outside Manila and the first Protestant school. The University houses quite a number of interesting museums and its students are among some of the most intelligent in the Philippine school system.

The city attracts a considerable number of foreign tourists, particularly Europeans, and Japanese because of the numerous places to go to.

Near Dumaguete City are the dive sites Sumilon Island and Apo Island, with the latter more internationally renowned. Apo Island may be reached by boat from Zamboanguita (45 minutes away).

Having been able to go to just 3 places in the Visayas (Cebu, Bacolod, Boracay Island), it was just fitting to visit one more city equally beautiful and unique than the others. Aside from the fact that Cebu Pacific offers super low airfares, Dumaguete seemed like a fun and friendly place to visit with beautiful beaches, historic architecture, and cheap but delicious cuisine.

I'm leaving in a while. My flight's at 725AM.
