The 115th Founders Day of Silliman University is a two-week long celebration not only for the students and the Alumni of this honorable educational institution in Dumaguete City, but also for the whole population of Dumaguete.
St. Paul University Dumaguete is celebrating its 111th Founders Day from October 23 until October 29, 2015. While many locals are a bit tired from celebrating Buglasan, St Paul continues to celebrate, and that for a good reason.

Thousands of Alumni flocking into the “City of Gentle People” to honor their Alma Mater and to celebrate the SU Founders Day.
