At Random TV Interview with Aesha Villanueva

Bye Bye Showbiz
I thought I've seen the last of showbiz with the Survivor castaway reunion 2 years ago when I decided I've had it. I figured I didn't spend my UP years just to sit waiting for hours on end on a calltime where no one comes on time, and where unreturned emails and calls mean "NO". After that, I declined all invites for other showbiz appearances and GMA soon stopped inviting me. I went back to resuming my pre-Survivor life. End of story.

Aesha Villanueva
But Aesha, my team partner at the Eco Adventure Race who also hosts the local talk show, At Random, for a cable tv network, thought there was something interesting or odd about a city guy who decides to live in Dumaguete without having been there before, knows no one and doesn't even know where he'll spend his first night. She asked if I can appear on local tv for an interview. I said no problem. I am at ease with Aesha.

The Interview
The interview was a series of broad stroke questions as to how I look at life and what brought me to Dumaguete. When asked how I felt about Dumaguete, I said after having lived in Manila, New York and Canada, and having visited a few major cities in the world, I would liken Dumaguete as the world's best kept secret. That wasn't lip motion. Think about it. Where on earth can you have all the following in one city?:

• low cost of living
• low crime rate
• low pollution level
• low congestion
• gentle people
• having the world's best dive spots in its frontyard
• having mountain trails, waterfalls, natural hot and cold springs in the mountain range just in its backyard

Ending Thoughts
Dumaguete is urban living without becoming a hamster on a wheel. Simply put, DUMAGUETE ROCKS !!!!

(Jul 10, 2010) Dennis, aren't you a little too young to even be thinking about the "R" word?
