Travel Philippines, Season 2, Ep3. Tour of Dumaguete Studio Apartments, in Candau-ay barangay (barrio or neighbourhood). The owner of this hotel apartment specifically told me not to mention pricing in the video. The business owner would prefer you contact them directly, and contact details below. Dumaguete City, province of Negros Oriental. It is the capital, principal seaport, and largest city of the province. Nicknamed "The City of Gentle People". Shopping and eating out can be cheaper compared to larger cities if you know the local language and culture.

Palinpinon Road also known as "Candau-ay Road", Candau-ay, Dumaguete, 6200 Negros Oriental, Philippines. Local Phone:+63 35 421 1343 http://dumaguete-studio-apartments.com/ The main attraction for travellers: Good security with high walls, barbed wire, and electrified fence; good internet; nicer long term apartment facilities and massive pool; motor bikes available for rent or complimentary for long-term guests, very convenient for daily transport; lots of privacy and space in quiet area; laundry mat, and bakery next door, and sari-sari convenience store a few meters further down. Good safe place for tourists on vacation and short trips. The down side: It is further away from town, so if you do not want to ride a hired motor bike, you lose the motorbike advantage and transport convenience; negotiating affordable pedicab trike taxi's everyday can be pain, or expensive return trips from town; NO Smoking on the hotel grounds so you have to go outside the compound if you smoke cigarettes; there is a "smokey mountain" trash dump site near by (see Episode 21); if you don't want to ride a motor bike, or simply want more convenience in town there are plenty of competitive options near Rizal Boulevard, Lee Plaza mall, and Robinsons Place mall. Other tourists I met were happy staying in town as well, with plenty of good options. Dumaguete Freedom Apartments.

It is important to have photo ID for flights, hotels, and if police ask. It is common for taxi drivers in Manila and every other city to try rip you off, or overcharge foreigners. Ask them nicely to put the meter on, or negotiate the price from the start. Ask locals what it costs to your location. If you are not comfortable, don't use that taxi. Don't be afraid to move on and find another taxi! Shopping mall culture, locals love the mall for the aircon and to get out of the heat. Generally you will notice ash and dust particles in the air as burning trash and charcoal BBQ cooking is quite common. Also if there is a lot of vehicle traffic in that city from Jeepney buses, motorbikes, trucks and cars. Locals often inflate prices for foreigners and tourists. Haggle and negotiate nicely. Be firm and confident, but always be respectful and polite. Shop around, you can often get a better price. Ask around about local fair pricing for things you want to do. "Tip" can also mean bribe, so don't be afraid to ask what you're paying for upfront. Locals often do things to try help you, but then expect a tip. The average basic worker earns PHP200 - 300 a day. So tipping PHP 20 - 50 is fine.
