Manila to Dumaguete Destination Reviews

KN
No clear itinerary, not worth the hassle, trip took 8 hours more than the set expectation, trip started an hour late. Was not given a heads-up that the booking doesn’t include the ferry fair. Uncomfortable. Ceres doesn’t have printing service, took me an hour to look for printing good thing I arrived 2 hours prior. So much hassle
