Welcome and good luck in planning your retirement! Dgte is a GREAT choice. There are wonderful private schools for your daughter to attend. There are also many on the forum starting or finishing their plans for retirement in Dgte. You may want to follow up on some of the previous posts from them.
Roy, Try this website: "Moving to the Philippines ~ Living, Retire, Travel to the Philippines" I don't know how current are the info, but you will get a general idea of living in the Philippines. Dumaguete is not mentioned though. Maybe Iloilo will be a close comparison.
