Lively Filipino music, rich and boisterous laughter and the clanging of utensils were in perfect harmony during the blessing and grand opening of Lantaw Native Restaurant Dumaguete. It seemed like one giant feast that brought together families from all over the city. And as the night progressed and the moon steadily lit the restaurant’s skyline, the crowd excited to taste the savory native delicacies unique to this new restaurant just kept getting bigger and bigger.

The campus by the sea just turned 114 years old last August and being part of the Silliman University Corps of Campus Ambassadors, I present to you a little tour of the popular and underground food scene in campus!
Starting off with the famous Bossing’s Tempura, it is said that you are not a Sillimanian if you haven’t tried the Lvl 5 tempura. With 5 levels, from 1 being the least spicy to 5 being the spiciest, there is a secret Lvl 6 tempura specially made-to-order on special request! Costing 4 pesos per stick, Bossing’s tempura has become an icon of the university that even alumni and guests keep coming back for!
With early morning classes, most students you see look like zombies walking around the campus. Not to worry, here in Silliman University, there are kiosks selling all day breakfast for us to fuel up anytime of the day. Meals are at very affordable prices (~ Php 35-60).
The weather did not look too good in the early hours of the afternoon as it lead from a slow drizzle until rain came pouring down on and off into the late hours of the night on August 20, 2015. Nevertheless, the Rizal Boulevard Strip was packed with thousands of Dumaguetenos for the Earthday Jam.
The music marathon which was hosted by Alvin Anson, Midi G and Pam Nieva together with Kim Covert and Elena Bartlett kicked off late afternoon starting with performances from homegrown artists. Along with this, various booths and exhibits by the CENRO/City Dept. of Agriculture, EDC-BINHI, Foundation University Fine Arts, SUSG- ENVIROCOM, Dumaguete Medics, PhilSouth Properties & Development Corporation, Qualfon Dumaguete, NORSU-LSO, and Ang Sandigan were open for the public’s perusing.
Do you ever get those times where you just want to relive a moment over and over again? Ever caught yourself staring at something so beautiful, so breathtaking that there’s nowhere else in the world you’d rather be? Well, I have – many times. And through all those times, I remember that one line Leslie Burke said to Jesse Aarons in one of my favorite movies, “Take a picture, it lasts longer.” Indeed it does.
Prepare yourself for a talent-packed marathon of music and advocacy as the country’s biggest and longest running concert is set for its Visayan leg on August 20, 2015 at Dumaguete City’s Rizal Boulevard Strip. Earthday Jam has been a platform by concerned artists, government, and private entities towards educating and encouraging the Filipinos to do their fair share in the global fight to save the planet. This year marks the 15th anniversary of Earthday Jam Foundation’s relentless campaign for environmental care and conscious awareness.
