A relaxing Holy Week in Dumaguete

More than having the cheapest cost of living in Central Visayas, Dumaguete has earned the distinction of being known as a "university town" due to the presence of universities that have made their mark nationally and abroad. It’s a laid back city, a melting pot of students, professionals, artists, scholars and the literati coming from different parts of the country and the world.

It is where you can still find tree-lined streets, with motorcycles dominating the road. Everything about it is simple and serene- from its people to the various places surrounding the city. Dumaguete is among the most peaceful and clean cities in the country. A perfect place for my kind of lifestyle. Even if I work here, it feels like I'm always on vacation.

Almost everything is accessible by foot, It is possible to just walk to the mall, church, hotel and market. In fact, Dumaguete is one of those few cities in the Philippines where it is a pleasure to roam around.
