The Dumaguete Chill

Things non-Dumagueteños should learn about doing events in the city:

[1] No one will answer your emails. The best way to get in touch with anyone is through Messenger. [Not even Viber!]

[2] We live by doing everything last minute. If we plan too much ahead, things will not happen.

[3] It’s a small city but we rarely see each other.

[4] Don’t fret about only having three people register through your officials channels, and you’re scared about nobody showing up. A good audience, seemingly out of nowhere, will arrive on the very day itself. Same with ticket sales. Everyone buys tickets on the day itself.

[5] The event will almost always go well, nonetheless.

This is just how things go in Dumaguete.
