This is the Dumaguete of the chance sojourner, innocent of purpose or desire, who in a time, finds himself wandering the streets, the boulevard, the marketplace, walking amongst the friendly and gentle people and suddenly discovering in his heart a longing to stay. Or the pilgrim in search of heart's desire, who, after the first visit, is compelled to return over and over to feed the soul, to find ease, to become empty and thus, find strength to get on. Or those who came to stay, finding a haven and making a home among welcoming strangers.

This is the Dumaguete of the poet, the teller of stories, the artist, sharer of secrets, hoarder of memories. This is The Dumaguete We Know.
