How to Improve Dumaguete as a Tourist Destination?

Thanks, that is exactly what I did. I thought that I would be able to unplug and get by with a dumb phone. Life is much easier now (except my starmobile phone seems to randomly shut off for no reason).

 

From RA 7394, the Philippine consumer protection act;



"ARTICLE 81. Price Tag Requirement - It shall be unlawful to offer any consumer product for retail sale
to the public without an appropriate price tag, label or marking publicly displayed to indicate the price of
each article and said products shall not be sold at a price higher than that stated therein and without
discrimination to all buyers: Provided, That lumber sold, displayed or offered for sale to the public shall be
tagged or labeled by indicating thereon the price and the corresponding official name of the wood:
Provided, further, That if consumer products for sale are too small or the nature of which makes it
impractical to place a price tag thereon price list placed at the nearest point where the products are
displayed indicating the retail price of the same may suffice.
ARTICLE 82. Manner of Placing Price Tags - Price tags, labels or markings must be written clearly,
indicating the price of the consumer product per unit is pesos and centavos.
ARTICLE 83. Regulations for Price Tags Placement - The concerned department shall prescribe rules
and regulations for the visible placement of price tags for specific consumer products and services. There
shall be no erasures or alterations of any sort of price tags, labels or markings."


Of course, enforcement is the problem. The DTI is very good about handling complaints, but this is a country of sheep minded souls, nobody complains except the foreigners, who if they complain are quickly told "if you don't like it leave"!

There are numerous maps of Dumaguete available online for free. You might want to print out your favorite one, take it with you, and make notes on it?

Let me google that for you

 

I disagree! They are for those who refuse to remain lost. Paper maps are very useful if you have no phone, or no battery, no signal, no load, and no apps! Also it is very hard to take down notes on an app! Unlike a smart phone paper maps have no recurring charges! A paper map has no limitations based on screen size either.

 

I know its already been said but the port is the worst place I have been in the Phils from the strong arm tactics to the gouging Just thinking of landing in town gets me pissed off.. Something needs to be done about the first impression ..
