Description

Student movement zone with strong daily rhythm. In Dumaguete. School run is one of the clearest daily pulses in any town — uniformed students filling the roads twice a day, tricycles and jeepneys running full, sari-sari stores and snack vendors doing their best trade of the day around the gates. WHAT TO DO: nothing to do as such, but it’s worth knowing because it dictates traffic and transport availability. ACTIVITIES: the snack stalls around schools are where cheap street food is best — banana cue, fishballs, kakanin. SAFETY: the roads are at their most congested and unpredictable at these hours, with children crossing everywhere; drive slowly and don’t plan to move fast through a town centre at 7am or 4pm.
