    don't take it seriously yabs (when robinsons is in dgte.)...philippines have 7,107 islands (i hope i'm not wrong), just research it carefully then you will find many beautiful places in Philippines aside from duma.

    It took me a long time travelling to find my own utopia in Asia
    Dumaguete fits the bill
    small town with character but with enough facilities without being commercial
    it is perfect for me
    If people want more commercialisation they have MANY MANY other p[laces to choose from
    most people come to Dumaguete to get away from all that b*llsh*it so i think its selfish for them to impose it on other people
    if you want diving but with commercilaisation and western styles
    then go to the carribean, PHUket, Bali, samui etc etc etc
    Dumaguete was unique in that it doesn't cater to the down market taste
    of the average expat and low class tourist
    I have encountered many travellers in Dumaguete who feel the same way
    and have vowed never to return after the Robinsons is built
    Dumagvuete fills an aleternative niche for tourists by providing soemthing a bit different
    a pleasant backwater really but if that changes then many tourists who did come will move away

    Maybe you looked very hard, but you forgot to analyze that what you have seen...

    Thinking a city like Dumaguete, a very honored University and Domestic Airport, Seaport outstanding countryside and world-class diving plus many many more benefits in the central Visayas, very easy to reach will stay like it was is a little bit... to be polite... naive..

    Rhoody...you hit it right in the middle of the nail !
    Yabsy Yabsy..... I pitty with you .....
    I rather prefer to drink a beer with you than arguing about who has the right to stay in Dumaguete and who has to leave that city. :wink:
    As I read your critics ...... it's yap (not to use the #b*sh#t signs) Yabs :D

    (Quoted:smile: If people want more commercialisation they have MANY MANY other p[laces to choose from. most people come to Dumaguete to get away from all that b*llsh*it so i think its selfish for them to impose it on other people (Unquoted:smile:

    Who is selfish here ? Who is trying to impose ?
    Cool down and stop repeating every time the same things.
    You believe someone will leave Dumaguete because you advise them to do so ?
    Again...naive .... also in my perception.

    Hi,

    I voted No! :smile:

    All of you are correct. :D

    When I was 9 yrs old I used to play and swim in the City Bay front- our famous boulevard. It used to be a family day to every Dumagueteños every late afternoon.

    The Rizal Boulevard is more the same except the added vibrant night life. But at day time…more and more people are coming in to shop, people coming from the other side of Cebu. With the Roll-on, Roll-off program people from Mindanao will be visiting Dumaguete – shoppers and for medical purposes.

    Today I am 37, with the same Dumagueteño attitude who is not “mindful” despite of the 5 big academic institutions supposedly to educate us to care for the environment. It took 35 years for me to realize I was not mindful too.
    I am not anti-progress or specifically malls. I voted NO because we are not prepared and our politicians are not ready to have such big jump.:(

    I was studying in Saint Louis High School and sold it to Don Bosco in 1987. The Dumaguete Business Park where the Robinson is located was a rice field and a wetland down to the beach. When they started the contract for a 2-story building the developer has a hard time putting up the foundations because it is a wetland – soft. Delayed on its target and few million losses they agreed to make it a 3-story mall – new paper and money works – delayed again. I don’t know if they solve the soft thing. :confused:

    For those who are planning to a have a Small/Medium Enterprise (SME’s) please apply now to cut the Robinsons delay.:p

    Wet land is important aspect to the environment- it is a natural barriers to salt water intrusion – I hope there are some expert who can explain more.

    At back of the concrete fence near the cockpit people are experiencing floods because the natural drainage – the wetland are now closed.

    Dumaguete City has many good laws but not implemented properly that make my concerns.

    I will only vote YES! If Dumagueteños will become mindful. Check out what we did with our only river and source of water - “Banica River”:rolleyes:

    I understand you yabs as I’m also against of big establishments in dumaguete , i only give that advice because if we don’t have a choice anymore of this “boom and doom“ in dumaguete will go on and on….. (as you know when powerful corrupt politician and powerful businessmen will go hand in hand ,voice of “ little people” is just nothing in Philippines, Its hard to accept but that’s the truth).I thought giving you that advised can give you a sort of an alternative.But I know you are a person with principles and have a taste……so I just leave it to you what you will do next after dumaguete.good luck…:smile:
