Despite of the bad news in the Philippines would you still consider.......

What happened in the Philippines?? Do you mind to share? I heard about the war in Thailand, Thaksin being in the country again and whatnot, but not sure what's going on in the Phillippines.

I am in the Philippines and yes, there are crimes that happen but I guess crimes also happen in other places. Despite the bad news that some people say about the country, I would still choose to stay here than live in another country.

I actually have no desire to travel to the Philippines, mostly because I have no clue what you have to offer. My son has been to the Philippines many times - he's in the Navy and they go there often. On one of his trips, he was robbed and beaten. He doesn't go anywhere alone when he's there now.

I think most of the Philippines is safe to visit. I know one island is not safe to visit but the rest of the country is. I would fly into Cebu Airport and visit several different island in that region. Like I would get a ferry to Bohol Island. There I would be able to see the Chocolate Hills. I long to go off island hopping and snorkeling in the Philippines.

To be honest I don't know much about the country. in my mind it has many islands so I suppose they must have a lot of sea food. also from the location I suppose it would be very hot. If I get the chance I definitely would like to visit the country and know different culture. I have a friend from there and her english is very good. that left good impression on me.

There are indeed some places in the Philippines that are dangerous, but not all. There are only a few places specifically some areas in mindanao. The Philippines is a very beautiful country. Everyone is welcome to come!

I have been to the Phillippines twice. I never had any problem when I viisted. I would go back if I could afford it. the placeds I visited were in Mallia and Makiti city.

I am in the Philippines and yes there are places that are not safe for travelers and tourists for example some places in Mindanao, if you are a tourist I'm sure you would go to places that are popular and safe. If you are first time traveler try visit the northern or central part, I would suggest CamSur, Palawan, Cebu, and Bohol.

Yes, indeed. But i think there are still safe places in the Philippines that people can visit. One of the safest places i know is Bohol and Negros. hmm.. I think Boracay is a safe place also. I havent really travelled around the Philippines yet so I cant say any place that I love most. I have only been to Manila, Cebu and the city of Bohol. But Bohol is a nice place, very peaceful.
