The Center of Learning in the South
Dumaguete has earned the distinction of being a university town due to the presence of renowned universities and colleges. With an increasing demographic of students, faculty, artists, and professionals, the city is a melting pot of scholars coming from different parts of Asia and the world.
Silliman University, the first Protestant university in the Philippines and the first American private university in Asia, is the premier institution of higher learning in Dumaguete City. Significantly contributing to the unique academic character of the city, its 600,000-square-meter campus integrates seamlessly into the downtown area, creating an environment where education and city life coexist.
Dumaguete’s Bustling Economy
Tourism, academia, technology-related activities, and the retail industry are significant sources of income for the city. The growing outsourcing industry in Dumaguete is diverse, offering services that range from call centers to medical transcription and architectural outsourcing. Dumaguete also has one of the densest concentrations of public and private banking and financial institutions among cities in the Philippines.
