#DumaGetMe in Dumaguete

To date, Negros Oriental is my 31^st province and is my first time in the City of Gentle People – Dumaguete City. My interest grew in this city as it is home to various and notable tourist attractions, namely the Silliman University, Manjuyod Sandbar, and Apo Island and Coral Reef Reserve, to name a few. I never expected that Duma will “#Duma-Get-Me” – and this city truly delivers.

As attractive and noticeable as its hashtag, the City bustles in every turn you make. Approximately 33.62 km² in area, this city is big for surprises. Each attraction you might (want to) visit makes you think that Dumaguete, or Negros Oriental at that, is more to its name. A short visit to this province is no justice to its various attractions. A week visit or staycation here would be recommended. Without keeping you further reading, I will let you feel what I have experienced in this City.

Duma-Got-Me (Dumaguete Travel Guide)

Going to and from Dumaguete is easy. If you are that traveler who always want the rush, you can ride an airplane and it will bring you to Dumaguete in an hour or so. As the City is quite crowded and traffic is really expected, I also advise that you bring with you a lot of patience. 🙂 If you are devising an itinerary of some sort, make sure to have flexible travel times and ‘visiting / staying hours’ in a place (or consult Google Map for the estimated travel time) for you to budget your times of visit.

By Air

To date, only Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines fly in and out of Sibulan Airport. Check the website of these airlines to see their flight schedules to and from the City.

By Land

As in any other parts of the Philippines, exploring Duma can be easy! I personally recommend you to ride on a Jeepney (minimum fare at PhP 11, depending on the route)* and ask the driver/s for directions. Another popular mode of transportation is the tricycle where you can have a more private space while exploring the City (minimum fare at PhP 11, depending on the route.)* You can also hail taxi cabs in and around the City for extra comfort (flag down rate starts at PhP 40.)

*note that these rates may change without prior notice. 🙂
