Life is laid back, and there's a lot of time to get together with friends and to make new ones. First-time visitors are greeted with friendly smiles and a bit of small talk. Service in restaurants, resorts, the banks, and even city hall is superb!
Many visitors have literally fallen in love with the place, the lifestyle and the beautiful people here (especially the Dumaguete women), and have made a Dumaguete their permanent home! You will see a lot of foreign nationals riding motorcycles (a popular mode of transportation), shopping at the local markets, and hanging around the many bars by the boulevard. A lot of Filipinos, native to Dumaguete or not, have gone "home" to "retire" here, too.
Come visit us -- you will love it here!
