Destination: Dumaguete City 6200

Dumaguete is the capital city and main port of Negros Oriental. Popularly known as the “City of Gentle People”, the name Dumaguete was derived from the visayan word dagit, which means “to snatch”. It was devised because of the town’s history of frequent raids by pirates. Legend has it that the apart from robbing the town, these pirates would also snatch up beautiful women from its shores. The city’s landmark, the Dumaguete Belfry was used for the purpose of warning townsfolk of incoming raiders. It was built in the 1760s and rebuilt in the 1870s and still stands to this very day to attest the horrid past this town had to face.
