Day 2: Public Consultation (Dumaguete City)

January 21, 2012

Second day in Dumaguete and we have to wake up early to prepare for the public consultation our class is going to hold. The very reason why we went there was for this. Our class (Tour 111) class is about creating a Tourism Master Plan and my Professor chose Dumaguete as the place we’re going to a make a plan of.

The night before, I became the backup reporter because our leader’s flight was only that morning so someone should be prepared to take over, and I was that someone. We rehearsed the report and that explains why I slept late and woke up very early that day.

The public consulatation was held in Sidlakan Village. It started at 0900H and ended 1530H. We held 3 workshops: Mission-Vision, SWOT Analysis & Mapping. It was tiring and I was too sleepy and tired.

Like a pro. Using Danica’s camera while she’s using mine (well, not really mine ‘coz it’s my sister’s, but you get the point).

Our Professor :)

Stealing some sleep while there’s action going on behind that blackboard. =)) *Thank you, Danica for this scandal photo.

I hosted the ice breaker game (Hep hep hooray!) after lunch, it was fun. After the consultation, we had a little ‘sharing’, which I hate. HAHA.

Stopped at Sansrival Cakes and Pastries to try their famous Silvanas! 

So hard to fit, but still tried. :))

Rizal Boulevard, their version of Roxas Boulevard. But FYI, Roxas Blvd was patterned from this, so this was the original. 

Why hello there, Kuya! :-)

We tried a street food which they call Tempura. It is made of fish and it looks like kikiam, only bigger. One piece costs 4 pesos. The taste was acceptable, close to kikiam. A part of Rizal Boulevard sells this with Penoy.

These kids were singing, or better yet, rapping for money.

We walked the streets of the City more and found ourselves in McDonald’s for a McFloat. That branch is the only McDonald’s in the whole city. We went back to our hotel after and do the usual talking, watching and eating.

(I can’t believe I wrote this in between reviewing for T175’s blank Philippine map with Airport codes and 100 questions tomorrow!)
