For the ones who are interested, the new parking center in the heart of Dumaguete corner St.Jose street offers free parking until August 31. Small sign, so surely nobody sees this offer, but it works. Until we get rarely anything for free here; grab your chance :-)
I saw no signboard with parking rates ... maybe thats why parking is still free and they call it "Dryrun period" because they have to find out themselves :-)
Good idea, a bit like the covid-19 vacs. Back on topic. Just in time for Filipino Christmas shopping, can't do any harm or can it? 20 pesos is a bargain for 2 hours, maybe put the price up for Christmas.
My wife 'reminded' me today that it will soon be Christmas (i.e. 1st SeptemBER). So like the pandemic, it is another thing I am waiting to be over.
Maybe a bargain in western cities but here where nobody has ever paid for parking On the bright side i think there will never be a problem finding a space in there.
Unless you get a parking fine or do 4 laps of the City looking for a parking slot. then yeah it's free.
I think the "Free Parking" means a load test without responsibility to the "Owners" as no one was charged to use the facility..
