i am white and i'm not scared to go to the philippines. i heard it's a nice place and the people are very friendly and nice too. and i trust the filipinos in this section coz they are friendly and helpful. if they say you'll be safe then it's true.

The Philippines (Metro Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Laguna, Cavite, Boracay, Bacolod, and a whole lot more etc.) is generally safe. But just like any thinking tourist, refrain from wearing jewelries or too much cash. Some remote islands in the south of the Philippines are also not safe for tourists including white people for that matter. But if you are just planning on going for a vacation in Luzon and Visayas, its okay.

This tale is generic throughout the time of the international, yet there is not even one documented case of an adolescent being discovered lifeless with their eyes or organs lacking. If infants have been discovered, this could be throughout newspapers international right now. The UN could look into. there are extremely some human beings looking into those memories for some years now, and so a ways not one case has been discovered. i does not trouble too lots approximately it. There are organs illegally gathered and offered (allegedly)- allegations of political prisoners in China as an occasion, yet not 1000's of undesirable infants from specific aspects. i'm not asserting it fairly is not plausible- merely that I doubt it because of the fact lots of persons are fairly investigating, and not something has been discovered yet. I doubt this could ensue interior the Philippines besides, because of the fact the Catholic Church could right now notify the international in an excellent way if there grew to become into data.

There are so many white people here but they don't get kidnapped. It is only wealthy Chinese who gets kidnapped and they're yellow. The Philippines is safe. It has its share of bad images just like any other country but as long as you stay away from red light districts and other unsafe places, you'll be all right.

Is it easy for a young woman traveling alone to get abducted in NY or LA? I bet the other people that say you could be kidnapped have never actually been to the Philippines have they? Just use your common sense, and you'll be fine. Also if your really concerned you can go to the U.S. State departments web site, and look at the travel warnings for any country you choose.

Untrue! Its pretty safe here in the Philippines for foreigners. Just do go to the provinces especially in Mindanao. Manila, Cebu and other tourist spots here in the Philippines is pretty safe. I can always see lots of white people in the malls, and other night spots.

I think not... As a good advise, don't travel alone and you should have a trusted companion with you.
Maybe those kidnappers are not that smart. They don't need foreigners for money, we have lots of millionaire's here to be their first victim and not you.
If someone says that you could be their prospect, then don't go to places were kidnapping is rampant. Just stay on major cities and trusted tourist spots.

It is just as dangerous as some parts of America, but not all people there are bad. Be careful of petty thiefs, but as for kidnapping, the color of your skin isn't that important, and trust your filipino stepmother.

It would depend where you are at...... In some places it is more dangerous than others....... Best thing to do is not stay out to late if your by yourself and dont go home at night if you have to walk there....... Try to stay in a group of people and if your in the mall and you think someone is trying to follow you get in a store and stay there or find a guard and tell him....... Just be aware of what is happening around you and stay sharp....... Hope this helps you...... Mag ingat ka lagi.....
