During World War II, Dumaguete, the capital of Negros Oriental, was a significant site of resistance and suffering. The Japanese forces occupied the city in May 1942, who used key landmarks as their headquarters and operational centers, leading to a harsh regime that included forced labor and strict control over the local population. Despite this, Dumaguete became a center for guerrilla activities, with local resistance fighters conducting operations against the Japanese occupiers. The war brought considerable hardship to the city, these landmarks not only bear witness to Dumaguete's historical significance during the war but also symbolize the resilience and bravery of its residents who were notable during this stormy period.
Remark:
A few years ago, I heard from the late Atty. Pinili that the building now occupied by the College of Business Administration (CBA) at (NORSU Main Campus I) was once used as a prison by the Japanese. Additionally, the workshop building used by the College of Industrial Technology (CIT) at the same campus is said to have been constructed by American soldiers. When I asked a historian about this, they mentioned that there is currently not enough evidence to confirm these claims. Hopefully, future research will reveal the truth, especially since these old buildings are located near Silliman University and Negros Oriental High School. - Dr. K.
