Honestly Bleth, nowhere.
My ex wife is a flipper, so I do understand enough Tagalog to get me round but the only time that I went there I was shoiting myself everywhere I went.
In a taxi at the traffic lights, if you want to buy a newspaper (from the street sellers), the taxi drivers will only open the window about 2cm, It's not safe to open the windows in the street the drivers told me, even in the middle of the day.
Walking out of my hotel at night time receptionist asked where I was going, "7-11" says I, "please don't sir, someone will shoot you" she said.
Big grin on my face I question this, "you mean that someone might see a westerner and maybe try to rob me, possibly by gun point"?
"No, someone will shoot you sir".
Everywhere I went I was constantly told to be on the lookout fro pickpockets, thieves, conmen and muggers.
If you have problems you can't go to the police, they make the RTP look like a caring none corrupt organisation with great policing skills, the locals call the caps 'crocodiles'.
Bleth, you know of my military history, while I never served in Iraq or Afghanistan I have been in some very hairy places but none that made me feel so insecure and defenceless as the Philippines.
Maybe I just had a bad experience but I would never go back there, especially with the nutter that runs the country now.
