    Hi. Just wanted to introduce myself. Visited Dumaguete last January and coming back in late November to look for a long-term rental. I retired from the U.S. military and have long history of employment in the medical, legal, and education fields. Will be moving with g/f, daughter, and g/f's mother. Last visit as a tourist. Closer to my arrival, I will probably have a few questions about the better Barangays (meaning safe and clean) and transportation options while looking for housing. For months, I have been reading as a guest and only recently joined. Hope to meet some of you when I am there again.

    Look into island properties website for rentals, some are on this forum too. Ask 4-6 pedicab drivers what they would charge for 4 hours to take you around and then take the average and find a driver you like. Apartments seem to be many available and houses seem higher but you may negotiate if doing longer lease. A week is long enough, look at many places before deciding and do not get excited if you love it, price will inflate. Happy hunting, take good notes and directions.

    Only in Dumaguete for some reason. A "pedicab" anywhere else I've been in the Philippines is fueled by rice and has pedals. :wink:
