Cost of Living and Inflation in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental: What do you need to know?

If someone is going to move to my city they must consider their living expenses like how much is their budget and what kind of hotels or houses their looking for. They must know how to speak the dialect or at least can speak English. And lastly, they must check our city’s weather and safety.

Dumaguete City has been recognized as one of the best places to retire in the Philippines. Aside from its clean environment, the cost of living is low. The city is also known for its many restaurants featuring international cuisines. It also hosts several higher learning institutions, including the well-known Silliman University.

Dumaguete City is an ideal place for both retirees and young adults. The cost of living is significantly lower than Cebu City and Bacolod City. There is not a lot of traffic, and there is a perfect balance of city life and being close to nature. After living in big cities, moving back to Dumaguete has been the best life choice. My favorite part of living here is that I can practice yoga for half the price of what I usually pay when I was still living in Cebu.

Dumaguete City is a nice place. What sets it apart from other cities is the way each people care for one another, more especially to tourists who want to explore the beauty of the place. It is “The City of Gentle People”. If some tourist got lost, the tricycle drivers take care of them and drive them right to their destination without asking for an expensive fare. Kindness is the city’s trademark.
