Dumaguete is popularly known as the University Town, A City of the Gentle People and Awesome sceneries.
It was probably my nth time going to Dumaguete City, not for the fact that I was assigned there for my Job, but I frequent the place when I am available -- to visit friends and to explore Dumaguete and Negros Oriental.
Dumaguete City is the Capital City of the Province of Negros Oriental and is among the Next Wave Cities of the Philippines in terms of BPO Industry.
Aside from its Rustic and Charming appeal, Dumaguete has something which makes it close to my heart. I dont know why, but for some reason, I find the City Elegant and Sophisticated. Maybe because of the presence of all these Aesthetically Designed houses and Parks that somehow makes you feel like you're in other countries (but the trikes are everywhere so its impossible).
For people who loves a Simple yet very Convenient living, then Dumaguete is the place I will recommend. You can find almost everything you need without getting too far from the City Proper.
Dumaguete is fast rising an Economic Powerhouse in the Visayas with the Presence of at least a Dozen of Call Centers which employs thousands of Dumaguetenos and pours in Millions of Dollars into its City Economy. It is also a Tourism Powerhouse of the Philippines because it is among the Top 14 Places in the Philippines with the highest number of Tourist Register in 2009 and it is considered as an Academic Powerhouse in the Country as it boasts 4 Large Universities and dozens of Academic Institutions in the City.
Silliman University was regarded as one of the Best Universities in the Philippines. St. Paul's University Dumaguete, Negros Oriental State University and Foundation University all contribute to the success of Dumaguete as a City.
