Two of Dumaguete’s iconic structures, beautifully framed by the golden glow of the setting sun. 🌅✨

A moment where architecture meets nature—silhouettes of familiar landmarks against a breathtaking Dumaguete sunset. Some views never get old. ❤️

Dumaguete celebrates the Birthday of Mama Mary! 💙🙏🏻

On this special day, devotees from near and far gather at the Dumaguete Cathedral and its historic belltower, making their way to the grotto to offer prayers, light candles, and pay homage to the Blessed Mother.

Amid the gentle glow of candles, the evening sky, and the faithful who continue to come with hopeful hearts, the celebration becomes more than a tradition—it is a beautiful expression of faith, love, and devotion to Mama Mary. 🌹🕯️

Happy Birthday, Mama Mary! 💙
Ora pro nobis. Pray for us, Blessed Mother. 🙏🏻✨

🐢 TURTLE ISLAND: SIATON OR ZAMBOANGUITA? 🌊

A little fact-checking on the famous Turtle Island (Polo) in Siit Bay! 📍

Despite some references placing it in Zamboanguita, DENR confirmed that Turtle Island falls under the political jurisdiction of the Municipality of Siaton, Negros Oriental. The boundary was settled in 2012 following a NAMRIA survey, with boundary monuments established and witnessed by officials from both municipalities.

And here’s the interesting part: it’s technically not an island, but a peninsula, since it remains connected to the mainland by an isthmus. 😮

But jurisdiction ≠ ownership. While Siaton has political jurisdiction, DENR maintained that the land remains property of the national government as Alienable and Disposable public land. So, Siaton didn’t exactly “win” ownership—just the jurisdiction question. 😉

🐢 So there you have it: Turtle Island/Polo is under Siaton, Negros Oriental🌴
