Welcome to Dumaguete Info! I think "the first couple weeks of 2013" have already passed. Are you already in Dumaguete or when are you thinking of coming?
Sorry, I meant the first couple weeks of August. I arrive July 29 and will be in Dumaguete and the surrounding area until August 14, 2013.
Paul, not to put a dark cloud over your trip but be aware August is typhoon season here. That has an impact on incoming flights as well as domestic flights, and of course your holiday plans. Last year in August Manila experienced heavy flooding from a typhoon. Hopefully, we will have few typhoons hit us this year and your trip plans work out wonderfully. Best of luck.
