Kidnapping

There are other nice cities in NegOr where you could live. Some examples: Tanjay or Bayawan.

 

I have lived here for the past 2+ years (25km's out of Dumaguete) and have never had a problem, mind you I do not hang out at the Bars/ Pool Halls or am not visible everyday attracting the attention of those who may have bad intentions. Honestly; I would rather live here than back in Australia where people of dubious ethnic/ indigenous/religious groups are ever increasing and daily events such as home invasions, serious assaults, rapes, car jacking, robberies and gang culture-mentality etc are thriving with ever increasing intensity!

I am not afraid to smile and say hello to a Filipino walking past unlike back in Oz where you need to be aware of the repercussions of something as simple as looking at someone else. I even have British friends who moved to Oz to get away from what was happening back home, but now tell me that Australia is turning into what they tried to escape and I agree with them.

You could do a lot worse than moving to Dumaguete, I find the people and the country a wonderful place to live, show respect, some common sense and just don't try to be the 'Tall Poppy'!
