Negros Oriental is perhaps the best-kept tourist secret in the Philippines. From mountain top to the vast expanse of plains, to the recesses of the earth, to the sea bed, the province has something exciting to offer to every guest. And yet very few people know about its natural bounty which is almost in its pristine form.

Come and unravel the hidden charm of this idyllic hideaway, before the rest of the world does. A first-time visitor should familiarize himself with the dazzling capital of Dumaguete, "The City of Gentle People", before exploring the great outdoors of Negros Oriental.

The land, sea and air transportation hub of the province, all the tourist destinations can be reached from the city. Dumaguete derived its name from the vernacular word "dumaguit" or "to snatch" because pirates and Moros often swooped down on this town to snatch women and loot the populace during the Spanish period. Today, visitors still get snatched, not by raiders, but by natural allure and laid-back pace of life.
