Jewel of the Visayas

In the islands of the Central Visayas hides a very precious jewel that some may not know of. This is Dumaguete city - home of the prestigious Silliman University and of gentle people. My first encounter with Dumaguete city was during a church camp down at Sibulan, Negross Oriental. We passed by the City on the way to Manjuyod, another town in Negros. My first reaction was unbelievable, such a small city could contain almost everything a huge city could offer. I often term it as a mini-city, where your coffee shop is just a couple of blocks away from where you live. Amazing right? Silliman University is also one of my favorite spots in the city aside from the Boulevard. It houses the ever famous Luce Auditorium which is considered to be an elite auditorium leveling with the standards of the Culture Center of the Philippines and a lot more. The longest epic Hinilawod was staged in the Luce Auditorium a couple of months ago. Watch out as Dumaguete city restages it again!
