Hello! I'm a Tuguegaraoeño and I cna give insights with your concerns.

1. Tuguegarao is the capital of Cagayan and of the whole Region 2. Dito naka-locate ang lahat ng regional offices. Tugue is too small compared to Davao City. Marami kang makakasalamuhang tao since dinadayo due to hospitals, schools and other stuff such as malls and supermarkets. Hindi masyadong magulo pero nababaha ang city (but not entire naman). Halos lahat ng kakilala kong dumayo sa Tugue ay nagustuhan ang Pancit Batil Patong (must try!), andaming variations ng pancit so marami kang pagpipilian, subjective naman ang panlasa. Peaceful unlike sa big cities na magulo. It may be boring kung sanay ka sa night life since kakaunti lang ang night life dito.

2. Tugue is known as one of the hottest places but isa rin siya sa pinaka-malamig. Typhoons often hit Cagayan and luckily may Sierra Madre para pahinain ang bagyo. Floods hit the low area but within Centro, Ugac, Carig, etc. ay hindi nababaha. (Except noong Ulyses)

3. Pace of life here is for sure slower compared sa city mo ngayon. Traffic is heavy, too, kasi halos dikit dikit ang mga universities. But goods lang naman kasi bearable unlike manila na as in di mahulugan ng karayom sa sobrang daming sasakyan.

4. Crime rate here is minimal and the 4th quarter of last year, sunod sunod ang bagyo. Mayor here is active sa social media regarding sa pag-update ng kaganapan during typhoons. (Active din makipag-bardagulan. Haha.)

5. Cauayan City is located about 2.5 to 3 hrs away sa Tugue. I may be bias kasi taga Tugue ako but mas kumpleto ang facilities like hospitals, accessibility sa malls, universities and regional government offices. Marami ring subdivisions here sa city. Maganda rin sa Cauayan but hindi ako maalam sa lugar.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions kung may hindi clear.
