Flag of Dumaguete (Liberty Nests in the Orient)

Design
In a proportion of 2:3, the city flag consists of a navy-blue field with the shield from the city's seal. In the shield is a Spanish-era watch tower situated above white and blue waves. This symbolizes Dumaguete's role of guarding the seas between Negros and Mindanao from Moro raiders. Additionally, the waves represent the city situated right next to the coast as Dumaguete is known as the "city by the sea".

1946-1960
From cession of the territory to the United States, Dumaguete merely used the U.S. National Flag consisting of the 48 Star version (1912-1959), the 49 Star Version (1959-1960), and the current 50 Star version from 1960-1968. There was also a proposal of using the U.S. Department of the Interior's flag as a stand-in while the city's flag was being designed.

1968-Present
The current flag was adapted on February 18, 1968 after a vexillology contest was held six months prior. The design was created by a local resident named Lorenzo Vasquez, an fine arts students at the Siliman University. For winning the contest, he was awarded $1,000.
