I noticed this posted in the Dumaguete Quick City Guide page:

"Majority of the population speak English fluently and can understand a little Spanish. Aside from English and Filipino, Dumagueteños speak Cebuano (Visaya), Tagalog and Ilonggo dialects. Ilonggo is their native tongue."

While all the languages referred to above are spoken in Dumaguete, the wording is not quite accurate. Dumagueteños generally speak Cebuano (Visayan) as their native tongue, not Ilonggo. It is the same with almost all of Negros Oriental except for the border towns or areas like Basay.
