Best Forum for Dumaguete and the province...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's almost 5PM in the East Coast and I just registered to this great site for lovers of Dumaguete, the province and its people. I missed last night's info meeting/gathering but I'm sure everyone had fun. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody next week when I get back home to reality...

I was born and raised in dumaguete, and am very excited when I meet new people who appreciate the city for what it is. It's not perfect, but it's definitely one of the best. People with varied and wide travel experiences, and who come from different parts of the world are great sources of ideas/suggestions and constructive criticisms. The truth hurts, but we have to accept the sad fact that the city needs to make more improvements to make it more appealing for everybody. One of the nice things about the city is that it is also the center for travels/ visits to other exciting places in the Philippines. Drive 15 to 30 minutes away and you are living/staying either by the beach or up in the cool mountains.

Nature lovers will be happy to note that there are two locations for mountain dwellings in the vicinity. Valencia is in the south with cool mountains and already inhabited by a ggod number of locals and expats. Sibulan and San Jose (where you have a better passage way to the twin lakes) are in the north with equally cool mountains (and a great view of the Tanon Strait)
but fewer dwellings, thus creating more serene and quiet sorroundings.

I could go on and on... but I will leave more time for personal talks and exchanges of ideas. I will be in Dumaguete on the last week of june and would gladly want to have a drink or two at Coco's or one of the many other places. You can also email me at tonyrems@aol.com.

Please email me for my cell, local or Int'l #s ( I have 2 VOIP lines that can be reached from around the world for free or cheaper rates).

See you or hear from you then...
