The Gentle Dumaguete

Word association game: Dumaguete, Silliman University, the silvannas at Sans Rival, international cuisines at restos in front of the boulevard, the boulevard, gentle people, motorcycle / tricycle. You will feel in love, inspire, and be mesmerized once you set your foot in this rustic and lovely city. Natives say that our national hero, Jose Rizal, used to walk the boulevard en route to Dapitan where he also got inspirations for his famous novels.

The boulevard was built in the
'30's. But local tradition is that Rizal had breakfast at the Locsin residence, cor. Sta. Catalina and V. Locsin Sts. Dumaguete and outskirts offers Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Spanish, Italian, German. Swiss, Thai, Ilonggo, Cebuano, French, Austrian, American, British and local food. The Australian joint closed awhile ago.
