November is a good time to travel to Dumaguete. The reason for this is the Annual Fiesta of St. Catherine or as she is lovingly called, Sta. Catalina de Alexandria. Although more than month away, the fiesta is one that the people of Dumaguete prepares for. There will be parades and concerts and other celebrations. Bethel Guest House and Rejoice Hardware and Electrical Supply never fail to celebrate theFiesta with the residents and guests of Dumaguete City.

Come in and take a look at these sites: Bethel Guest House, The Blog Bum, XUHS, XU-AAA.

One of the hallmarks of a Philippine City or Town is the concept of Fiesta. This dates back to the Spanish Times where each town would have its own patron saint whose birthdays or special days are celebrated annually. Patron saints are the intercessors which bring prayers and pleas of supplicants to God. Hence, they are thanked and honored for the protection they provide.

This is Ching's World, Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City, Dumaguete, Papoy, Moira Trinity.
