A Dumaguete Summer Article…
March 24, 2009Beating the Heat of Summer

How hot is it these days? I am sorely tempted to do the “popsicle on the asphalt” test. But then again, that would be such a waste of a perfectly good and yummy popsicle. Why not conduct the test in my mouth?
Teacher Julie of http://www.greenbucks.info, asked us this week as to what we plan to do for summer… or at least what we do during summer.
As mentioned previously, this perhaps is the first summer I noticed since I graduated from high school. This time, I plan to enjoy every minute of it. Now, in our little city of Dumaguete, life is as quaint as quaint can be. Sure, we have the “signs of development” since McDonalds, KFC, Jollibee, and the currently built Robinson’s. Oh, yes. Dumaguete is getting there, but I am definitely loving the relaxed pace that it is moving.
Now for us Dumagueteños, we simply love to hit the beach during the summer. Heck, we love to go to the beach even if it is raining. One of the great things about being in Dumaguete is that you are just a ride away from the beach. Although these are not those fancy-shmancy resorts (but we do have those as well), why should you spend dollars just to enjoy the beach?
Summertime in Dumaguete
March 19, 2009Summer is really here… you can tell by merely walking around the city as early as 9 in the morning. What am I talking about? The heat, baby… the SUMMER HEAT!!!
Some are happy and excited about it… others, just plainly apathetic over the whole summer thing. But for most of us, summer spells out V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N. And if we talk about vacation here in Dumaguete, it means GO OUT AND SUBMERGE!!! Yeah… out in the beaches and dive in the cool waters. This is how Dumagueteños deal with the hot weather.
You see, the good thing about Dumaguete when it’s summer is that beaches are easily reachable. Reachable as in a few-minute ride from the city. So, the question is… Where to? Well, this is why I am making this entry in the first place.
You see, Negros Oriental (where Dumaguete is) is endowed with good beaches. That’s why resorts are practically sprouting everywhere. See list below:
- El Oriente Beach Resort
Mangnao, Dumaguete City - Wellbeach Resort
Mojon, 6218 Maluay, Negros Oriental - Dumagute Springs Beach Resort
Bacong (San Miguel), Negros Oriental, Philippines - Thalatta Beach Resort
Maluay, Zamboanguita, Dumaguete 6200, Philippines - Atlantis Dumaguete Dive Resort
Dauin, Negros Oriental - Forest Camp
Valencia, Negros Oriental - Sta. Monica Beach Resort
Dumaguete, Negros Oriental
So, these are just few of the seemingly countless resorts around Negros Oriental. Now, have you taken your pick already?
