🇵🇭 I’ve Never Seen a City like Dumaguete in the Philippines 

even the dogs there are relaxed

I was smiling the whole time when you were hanging out with the kids 💙 😊

Wait till you see the port in Siquijor specially during rainy season, there is a white sandbar in the port. Most of the foreigners there are in Valencia, the most calm and beautiful part od Dumaguete.

I agree that it's really inconvenient going too far just to buy a ticket, but I think they do it because a heavy traffic, long queue might be created inside the port which cause inconvenience to other people and passengers

Stunning clear waters, very friendly and warm locals, cheaper cost of living, serene and peaceful environment. Just few of the many reasons why Dumaguete is preferred by so many expats who chose to retire and settle in this quaint and lovely city.

I go to dumaguete twice a month for a visit of my kids stuying in Silliman Univ... Sunday market breakfast in Valencia is my favorite routine, afterwards going to nearby Dauin for a short snorkling..

Nice to see you enjoying urself mergim

theres a beach resort in siquijor forgot the name of it the water is crystal clear...

Wow! Puffer fish catch! Kids are so makulit😂

Dumaguete. Very nice place... really amazing atmosphere. I studied at Silliman U in the 1970s, but I haven't been back in 26 yrs. I miss the Boulevard, there in your intro scenes. So that's how it looks now. Yes, the sea is fabulous, the inspiration of "Silliman beside the sea"... SU's literary annual "Sands and Corals". Then the beautiful SU coeds. Oh,my. The green sprawling campus, the acacia trees along the Silliman Avenue , the dorms. Many newer buildings must have sprouted. The last construction I witnessed was the SU Medical Center.

This is the second time I thought you'd made a bad decision jumping it the water, but then I realised you've managed to uploade the video so you should still be fine. It reminds me of your boiling volcanic water jump last year.

please visit Sipalay City too, 4 hrs away from Dumaguete

Mergim you can't resist the temptation of the water esp. On a very hot day!

Wait til you see the waters in the port of Siquijor. Crystal clear waters and white sand beneath.

thanks for stopping by my home province! Duma is a university town but I hope when you visit again and try dipping in our cold spring to freshen up or our hot spring if you still prefer that.

The wootah is so relaxing 🏝

I've never been in Dumaguete but after watching this, it surely be on my Travel Wish List. Keep safe on your travels Mergim❤️

Glad to see you discovered Dumaguete it really is a gem especially walking the boulevard at night or during their annual Fiesta in October. I cannot wait to see it again

Mergim -- Glad to see you on a motorbike. I think the trick is to lower expectations. Then everything would be a pleasant surprise.

How I wish you teach those children to respect and have care for nature.

nice bonding with the local kids mergim.. more of ths.. visit APO island and Danjugan island(by sched)

this is a nice vlog ♥ thanks M.

cute dogs sleeping on the seaweed

Even though they are kids, its good to see how Mergin interact with them and have a conversation with them easily 😊

Nice adventure Sir

I suggest explore the area surrounding Dumaguete like Dauin and Valencia!! Explore Alta Tierra, Forest Camp, Pulang Bato Waterfalls or Casaroro or Valencia Sunday Market. Dauin has a lot of diving resorts. Stay there for a few days. Btw..I used to swim there too when I was a kid at the pier 😂😂😂

you had a free swimming pool. good to see you mingling with the local kids.

That pufferfish got violated😂😭😭

Boom, just like that and you’re now in Dumaguete!!😊

Ending shots were nice!

I don't remember seeing the water in the port going to Boracay that clear.

Just keep safe , Mergim & don't get scamned by public transports. Enjoy!

Nice. We will come to Philippines and be there half year and will see Cebu and Domanguete and Siquior. It will be nice vaccantion coming back after 9 years.

The waters are so clean

You're right, they should sell tickets where the port is. That's the first I've seen it done that way.

I enjoyed that 😊

Wow, the water soooo clear, love wTching this, the local kids enjoying the wTer...😂❤

Hope you can show us more of Dumaguete's beauty!😊

my birthplace ❤ thanks for visiting.

Nice.

I lived there for a while. Just a heads up. 20 pesos is more that it usually costs and overpaying for the trike rides is why it's becoming so expensive. Pensioners are having trouble affording living there, btw.

There’s a cafe there with delicious pastries like sans rival .. it’s famous and delicious

Makes you wonder why everyone only knows boracay

Its called '' butiti '' pupper fish: sea urchin is '' tuyom ''

BOY OH BOY! Am i glad i clicked on your vlog today! I was supposed to skip it, since Duma seems like a sleepy town.... But im so so glad I'm wrong! Thank you for featuring the baywalk Mergim! Now we are SERIOUSLY contemplating visiting Duma just to do the same thing you did!!! Such clear waters! Sigh.😊

love it

Ohh welcome to our city of dumaguete

your a cool guy doesnt get upset wasy

You should see the port in Cebu if you're traveling from there, from Sibulan to Cebu.

visit the colder mountain parts of dumaguete while youre there mergim

haha...you look like a kid swimming with them Mergim...Enjoy Dumaguete Mergim..

Welcome to Dumaguete City, Mergim! Let me know if you need a guide around town, I can show you around! 🙂

They really need to improve the ticketing booth, maybe they can do it online too.

Mergim goat 🐐 #love

Wawa naman si puffer. Stress na

Awesome Dumaguete

I agree in 2:02

Im planning to go there endvof this year

Dumaguete looks fine!

Wow

😍

What a walk for the ticket office

That puffer fish really got your attention...love how the kids interact to you..

my province of my fathere siqiuior lazi

That's why the westerners love the Philippines because even kids can speak English.

Good swimming experience in that pier, nice and Clear ocean! Better than Bora 🙏🤙🇵🇭

Mergim finally got to Dumaguete, where I live. Best place in da world.

Philippines needs to improved and organize their services for the foreigns it helps to the economy.🙂

Visit Siquijor..

forgot to like and comment again so came back 1 day later to do so. It looked both scary/dangerous and fun to have a dip there with the kids.

I have to agree with you Mergim about the ridiculous system of ticketing. I have experienced something similar in Manila a couple of years ago. Most annoying!!!!!

Do they have regular motorcycles there? Or is it just scooters?

13:56 Puff is dead, no Diddy. 😅

😂😂😂 mergim had enjoyed playing the puffer fish 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Visit the hot Spring also there..

Sea Urchins or Uni - they taste good

Sweating is good

Sea urchin is edible 😊

👍

❤❤❤

Pufferfish is only poisonous when you eat one that wasn't prepared by a knowledgeable or skilled chef. Anyway, ride to the mountains, you will surely love it.

Makes me think if Manila bay looked like Dumaguete around 1920's?

Puffer fish probably swam from Japan!

dats a very gud constructive criticism of the ticketing booth

I like the way your finger touch the sea urchin mate. Like creatures playing😁🤣🤣

Why the f they make it hard to travel just getting a ferry ticket is a lot of time wasted Philippines need to change this mentality if they want more tourist to come.

That’s not poisonous we eat that since I was young and the kids should discipline to let it go the popper fish it’s gonna die quick they playing on it and too small to eat it .

You played w/ the kiddos there bro😂😂

so naive and fearful....

The port in Bato Santander has a beautiful water, in Dumaguete and in Siquijor. You'll be surprise.

Hi mergim I'm from dumaguete city and I'm a long time fan, are you still in dumaguete? Edit: funny thing i was actually at that montenegro fast craft that you were filming lol I didn't see you at the port🥲

How was your stay in central visayas

firstttt

I think that is a blowfish? There is a difference between puffer and blowfish.

Where are the favelas neighborhoods in Dumaguete? what are they called and how can I find them?

Good job to the LGU of Dumaguete for putting trash cans in the park and boulevard.

Please meet other vloggers .....( Gio in the Philippines and Old dog) Nice people .)

welcome to todays video where I travel to the only parts of the Philippines where all other westerns go.

❤😊❤ GLAD YOU APRECIATE DUMAGUETE ITS A GREAT PLACE IN NEGROS ISLAND

Nice jump 😂😂❤️❤️
