Dumaguete is not the largest city in Negros Oriental province in terms of land area.

[edit] "one of the most livable islands in the world"

The citation for the statement in the intro that Dumaguete City is "one of the most livable islands in the world" doesn't lead to a reference, just the main page of Islands.com. Neither a site search nor a google site search produce anything on Dumaguete City. A quick google search doesn't turn up any sources for this statement. Unless a reliable source can be found I'm going to remove the statement. MrVibrating (talk) 11:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm all for emphasizing the positive but this article reads like a biased travel brochure. The air pollution in this city is so horrific that one must counsel people not to go there if you have any sort of respiratory, cardiac or neurological problems. Certainly don't bring any infants or young kids there. Calling it "one of the most livable islands in the world" might have merit if you were to never go to Dumaguete. The people there are forever walking and commuting with rags over their faces. The Mayor, Augustin Perdices ought to be ashamed of himself for allowing this to go on unabated.--Cmoher3 (talk) 17:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
