Camella Dumaguete Joins Buglasan Festival in Celebration of Culture, Connectivity, and Community

Dumaguete, the capital of Negros Oriental, is home to a diverse range of industries, including tourism, business process outsourcing (BPO), technology, education, and retail. The academe alone contributes billions to the local economy each year, with its universities attracting students nationwide and abroad. Complementing these academic avenues is a growing outsourcing sector, with enterprises ranging from call centers and publishing to medical transcription and architectural consultancy.

The city also boasts one of the densest concentrations of banking institutions and finance-based cooperatives in the country. Its power source, drawn from the geothermal plant in Palinpinon, Valencia, supports redundant fiber-optic lines, positioning Dumaguete as a telecommunications hub linking Manila, key Visayan cities, and other growth centers south of the Philippines.

More than a travel hub

Dumaguete holds a place in the list of the most extraordinary marine ecosystems worldwide. Adventure seekers will find plenty of outdoor exploits, whether diving in Apo and Sumilon Islands, watching whales and dolphins along Tañon Strait, or trekking Mount Kanlaon and the Cuernos de Negros. The city's landscape balances natural beauty and urban accessibility, offering a lifestyle that is both relaxed and connected.

A culture of connection

Every October, Negros Oriental bursts into a spectacle of sound and spirit through Buglasan, known as the Festival of Festivals. For 10 days, the province serves as a stage for its 23 cities and municipalities to honor their heritage through fairs, parades, and exhibits at Freedom Park.

Drawing over 30,000 visitors annually and recording a 207 percent surge in tourist arrivals in 2024, the festival has become a driver of local enterprise, hospitality, and investment. As the province eyes one million visitors by 2025, the celebration continues to transform culture into capital, strengthening the standing of Negros Oriental as a hub for business and real estate.

At the heart of this progressive province stands Camella Negros Oriental, a community that celebrates the same spirit that makes the Buglasan Festival extraordinary. Just as the festival brings people together, Camella builds living spaces where families grow, dreams take shape, and investments bloom. With its prime location, modern amenities, and lasting value, Camella allows you to own not just a home, but also a piece of a flourishing future. Because when the festivities end, the best celebration begins—the one you live every day, at home.

Live where the stillness of nature meets the solace of a built environment

The 15-hectare Camella Negros Oriental is situated along the Metro Dumaguete Diversion Road, 20 minutes from downtown, where commercial centers and lifestyle hubs are located. Its proximity to business districts and educational institutions makes it an ideal place for families to set roots in their forever homes. It features thoughtfully designed amenities, including a clubhouse, swimming pool, playground, pocket parks, and jogging paths, all set amid lush landscapes.
