The BEST Retirement City In The World Dumaguete, Philippines Travel Guide  

@Blue.100s yep you’re right Dumaguete is a terrible place overrun with violent RU-vidrs all trying to copy one grumpy old man because they’ve never had an original thought 😀🌴🌴

Good timing huh? haha

Give us a break. The legend in his own mind was idiotic. Not funny.

Dramaguete is a hell hole, getting out in June 2024, heading back to the USA, many expats are old white men who are racist, they bring their bad habitis here, many gossip make up stories about you if they don't like you, been there, Oh I'm not white, most of the time I walk in Dramagute or walk through the mall I get stares from white expats, and the stares are not friendly, I have met a few good expats but 99% are racist, Paul is 100% correct its a hell hole, my advise don't live here live someplace where's there's no expats.

Hey I appreciate that thanks!

True! He gets blamed when those new expats coming in, instead of researching about a place on their own rely on the RU-vidrs which a lot of us know are sensationalized for views, then did not meet their expectations.

I think secretly he does... I could be wrong though

I don't want more expats in Dumaguete.

ah man noise? haha idk about that... well the beaches aren't far

You are 100% correct i live in Valencia and the beaches in Dumaguete are polluted, there's no water filtration system here all raw sewerage goes right into the beach, Dumaguete is a trashy town, many stray dogs, many beggars, power outages, garbage left everywhere traffic is hell, infrastructure and medical care are in terrible condition.

​@@eddieBoxeron my last visit, there was dog decaying on the street outside Siliman Unjversity and no one bothered to pick it up and put on a dog cementery. So what happened to lovely Duma?

Thank you! Take care

Ah ok nice it is a lovely town! Thank for watching and leaving a comment

@@aaronaround You are very welcome..

@@marijolivitzky4336 Stay in California bro. I'm an American expat liviing in Valencia, I'm Hispanic and I have encountered many old white expats who are racist, they bring their bad habits here, This is the reason i am going back to the USA in June 2024, Dumaguete is a bad place to live for expats especially if you're not white.

Every dog has it's day :0

yes I enjoy the Filipina Pea as well. I have wondered if she writes all of her own scripts. I do know that all the of the expats have definitely risen the prices to some degree I am sure.. 100% when it comes to Airbnb rentals

yeah well the suburbs are so lovely there like Valencia my goodness it's gorgeous up there

really,,,the water looks bad,,,,boring

haha he was on fire that's for sure!

no one can beat dean lol

Yeah I did the traffic does get a little bad .... small streets

Wow really? I don't think it's a dump but I hear you

The beach looks nice 🙂

Dumaguete is only for shopping and dining, seeing doctors. I have a beach property 2 hours away, a hill top property overlooking near in the same area. Then I have property 20 minutes from Dumaguete of 3 acres with a view of the city and around. I wouldn't live in Dumaguete. But will shop/ dine there. You don't know the place. I live very rural, away from people if I chose to not see one, but near the city.

@@aaronaroundabsolute crap hole

This kid is .. just a kid trying to earn a penny. Lived in Dumaguete 6+ years. Now changed into a shit hole like the rest of this archipelago, doubt you are able to understand ..

Ah ok very cool. I heard there is amazing diving out there. Sounds like you'll head back some day!

Shhht. Its a Secret!

Yes I have yet to go there I am very interested

SHHHH! Do NOT ruin that town!

Yes other islands are just near!

Oh no SCOTTY... I like his channel.. too bad hope he recovers well

definitely

But i have no money!

Yeah I agree with you on that. For the basics I think you are good to go but for more advanced levels I would at least go to manila or another neighboring country

well drive around at 8 o'clock at night :0

@@aaronaround I live about an north of Dumaguete in Tanjay. My wife and I go to Dumagute about once a month for food shopping. I hate it, traffic is abominable and the city is a heat sink. It's not that I'm unfamiliar with big cities, grew up in Philly and lived in NYC for most of my life.

Are they on Grindr?

haha

Oh really? they were cool

I heard about that city how is it up there?

@aaronaround not alot of expats their it's in-between Dumagete and San Carlos we have a ferry their. I like it their. It's cheaper in my eyes. I started a RU-vid channel JenGioPhilippineJourney cause when we get home I'm doing my 13a spouse visa and then going to build house on our land. But we close to the seaside as they say it takes us about 20 minutes to get to city on tricycle cost like $2.00 we have a Pure Gold grocery store and a Prince Store. And big wet market alot of places to eat plus what my wife calls the China store. The people are great they call me the giant in the city and the kids always help with our packages. I treat them to soda and snacks for helping. You need to come check it out we will be home on the 8th of June 2024 . I can't wait to go home. Yes I call that home you can also look up Gulignhan City on Google and RU-vid.

It's Guihulngan :)

@@aaronaround Just sleepier with no mall. More of a local only town.

@@aaronaround Markie Shumate used to vlog from there and he was building a house on family property.

Yeah he loves it here ha

I am not sure I am sure there are few but I didn't see

@@aaronaround I did some searching, yes there are 4 stars rating Muslim Restaurants over there, thanks. Indian and Moroccan inspired.

@@WafeeTerengganu ah ok very cool 👍.. they sound!

Try Zamboanga or Marawi

yeah, come to find out he actually lives there and has a RU-vid channel!

@@aaronaround Oh nice! I will have to check him out and support new and up and coming RU-vidrs like him.

@@MyLifeThai371 Yeah sounds good 😂

You know I think I did see one

I am not sure honestly for now I don't think they need it but I could be wrong

Haha yeah right after you :0

Yes i am going home in June 2024 to the USA, dramaguete is a hell hole with many old white racist expats who just can't mind their own business, everybody ants to know your life history, as a Hispanic expat do not talk to anyone about your past, they will gossip, just tell them a lie, one expat asked me what I did in the USA, I said " i was a sanitation worker collecting trash, man he told others I was a garbage collector, piece if sh&t, I had one expat who was good and informed me, I kept it quiet, sad you come to another country to enjoy your retirement and some expats are trying to defame you.

Yes thank you!

Well you could say he's the King Of Duma haha

Yeah I think there is some truth to it but it definitely brings a lot of money into the country

haha yeah

Yeah it has it's pros and cons

Wow really? Well I could see it depends if you like Asia or not

Forbes Magazine listed Dumaguete as the six best places in the world for retirement back in 2014.

Yeah that is a fact

Haha well that is the bus and that is pretty slow :0

Thanks for tuning in

Mark Thorton is still around at a lower key after the fight at Ground Zero.

Why do you say that? Thanks for tuning in

@@aaronaround I am living since 2011 near Manila. I was in Duma and what I have seen there were a lot of Americans . Many chitchatting etc. Don't misunderstand me . The area is nice but I like to stay out of trouble.

@@nemowei5553 yeah I hear ya. Wow nice thats a long time

haha he loves it there

Yeah it is small relatively speaking you can drive through the place with no traffic in 10 minutes.... roughly .....

250k people

Haha maybe... the traffic can get a little frustrating there haha

You see many Mormons out here trying to con you into Mormonism, btw Joseph Smith was a friend of mine back in 1889.

Google can probably answer your question.

It's probably dehydrated water.

Fully saturated with fats and BS.

it is actually water substitute come to find out

It is saltwater blended with sanitation runoff. All the streams rjnning down the beach are NIT artesian springs! Lol

Sounds like it right? haha

Yes 100% I like Iloilo

Majorly haha I didn't know

@@aaronaround lots of toxic retired expat turned vloggers and live around gossiping.

I don't know what you mean

I don't know what you're saying

@@AndrewHiscock 🤣

"people drive like they don't care about life at all." haha that's funny well listen I am not saying you're wrong about that, the driving that is haha

Don't look for a girlfriend in Dumaguete, most if not all the ladies have kids, uneducated come from different provinces in serach of an old white expat who will take her and her kids, these ladies are the bottom of the barrel.

Big time drama small time city :0

Well he does secretly like it there haha

Oh wow nice !

Wow everyone? That is impressive

Yeah I guess I still havent seen any I dont feed into that crap

So true as an expat I'm leaving Dumaguete in June 2024.

hahaha bad lighting

Its head lice you get when you stay at the local hotel.
