Foreigners Visit FILIPINO Silliman University for the FIRST time! Arriving in Dumaguete!

[@carolcarillanes6019]

Another good one Matt and Molly. It’s very nice that you are really trying to do what the locals do, like taking public transport which is so good because you get to experience the real deal in the Philippines. Waiting for more vlogs 👍❤️

[@hmhbanal]

The university is named after Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, a retired businessman and philanthropist from Cohoes, New York who gave the initial sum of $10,000 to start the school. Starting as an elementary school for boys, the school expanded to become a college in 1910, acquiring university status in 1938.

Cesar Ryan Santos thanks for the info. I thought he was Moro because of the Muslim name.

[@michaelt334]

Cesar Santos is right.

[@michaelt334]

First Silliman school in Philippines. Established in August 28, 1901 by Protestant Missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States with the efforts of Dr. Horace B. Silliman thus making it the first Protestant school founded in the Philippines.

[@bb89670]

See the University of the Philippines built 1908 during American colonial rule, University of Santo Tomas established in The 1611 the during Spanish era and many more amazing universities. Both in Manila.

@@dabbleandtravel Please also visit Central Philippine University in Iloilo City - sister school of Silliman University. It was founded in 1905 through a grant given by the famous American philanthropist John D. Rockefeller under the auspices of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. It is the first Baptist and second American university (after Silliman University) in the country and in Asia. Its university hospital - Iloilo Mission Hospital which was founded in 1901 is the first American and Protestant hospital in the Philippines.

I suggest you go check out Manjuyod Sand bar, Bais dolphin watching, Twin lakes and Apo Island while you're in Dumaguete.

[@ruelgulinao6314]

Dumaguete has very nice waterfalla and beaches. It also is one of the friendliest cities in Philippines.. Enjoy guys! 👍

[@Koya_Sipanlog_Express]

That hospital was built in the 70s and a new wing added just a few years back. The old Silliman hospital called mission hospital is now called Katipunan Hall now houses the English and Literature Department. The main campus is at the back. Im sure by now youve explored the campus already. I hope you can do a tour and feature it in your vlog.

[@jasonflores4250]

Please visit the Sans Rival Dumaguete for their famous cakes and pastries which taste like dessert heaven located at San Jose street and from there you can reach their famous Rizal boulevard. Dumaguete is known for the city of gentle people. In front of Rizal Boulevard, you can see the mystic Island of Siquijor. You can reach the island via boat for 45 minutes. An island like a little bora.

Cool. Silliman is where I had graduated. Awesome friends; awesome times! Welcome to the "City of Gentle People," my favourite city in the World!!! (I am now living in the next town to Dumaguete, called "Sibulan." Btw, if you are interested to know, another Vlogger, "The Flying Kell," should still be in Dumaguete, vlogging. Also, you were at the back of Silliman University. The front is actually far on the other side. It's actually quite BIG.)

Check out Kookoos Nest resort

[@asianight9188]

Head south to Kookoos nest and Tambobo bay

[@APR_LNN]

You should try the "Manipis" road. I am not sure if it still exist. It's a road that cuts thru the mountains from Talisay to Toledo City or west coast instead of going south or north. Try learning Sud-Sud or Maninghas clam harvesting. They have a popular barangay dance fest called ""Bayle""". You pay as you dance.

[@mykeekym]

Pilipino are lucky with their transportation system, because anytime of the day there’s always either a tricycle, jeep or a bus in anywhere that you can ride from point 1 to point 2 and very cheap too.

The Siliman university was build after the US won the war with Spain. Spain sold the Philippines to US. So at that time 1901 a protestant bussiman n a missionary thought in introducing english education to Filipinos (from spanish language). The first group of pupils were 11 male Filipinos (who accepted to be educated in another language) with 1 american missionary teacher. As many years passes the school expanded and Filipino young teachers were hired. The Siliman university is the first American school in the Philippines during American regime.

Other places to see is the Red Rock falls with a hot spring closeby. And the best snorkling spot in the Philippines I"ve been is in Dauin Marine sanctuary, its a bus ride away and have to walk it from the market or ride a tricyle going to Romana Alar Beach.
