    Silliman has worked for my family. My wife had a C-Section giving birth and I survived a serious stroke and my son has had 8 years of checkups there.

    Just take a look how many can do simple maths in their head and that answers all the questions.

    This is a deplorable and selfish crime. Many of the dogs (maybe most) are not really “stray”, they belong to owners, are fed regularly, have the required rabies vaccinations and roam but come back to their homes everyday. Even if they were strays with no real owner, poisoning is very painful to them. I doubt the perpetrators will be caught but one can always hope.

    I also have 10 years here.
    Comparing Dumaguete to what is was like 10 years ago is not a measure if it's "rateability". whether positive or negative, it's only a measure of it's progress.
    Dumaguete will always be right for some people and wrong for others. Currently it's right for more people than it's wrong for and the population growing. Surely then: it's actually under-rated - at least until population growth stops.
    Classically in the Philippines and many other locations, the infrastructure to cope with an increase in population lags behind the requirement and like TheDude says: it might take a while to catch up.
    Fortunately the Philippines is blessed with thousands of islands, each with their own eccentricities. If Dumaguete no longer suits, I'm sure there's somewhere else that does.

    Or try HLV auto parts on Sta Rosa Street. They stock new parts but have a huge stock in a 3-storey building. A friend of ours has been restoring a 94 Honda (Civic) I think and they have had just about every obscure item he has asked for. It helps to bring in the item that needs replacing though, to avoid confusion as they might not use the same term to refer to it as we do. Very helpful staff.

    Not so sure of the economics. We have spare gas tanks in case we run out. Can change and keep cooking and roasting or baking easily. What happens when you get the unexpected/unscheduled brown out and you are roasting and baking in an electric oven? I'll take practical over economics here at this time, unless you have a generator of course. Then there is the added cost of operating a generator to throw into the economics side.

    Well, from my vantage the clouds spoiled the fun. I did get some fleeting glimpses of the totally eclipsed Moon. Was not able to get any telescopic views, but I did manage at least one image.
    Of all the Lunar eclipses I've seen, this was the brightest and reddest! Too bad it was playing hide-and-seek. mars and eclipse.jpg
