This note tells you whether it is safe to travel to the Philippines.
😖Recently, the editor has received many inquiries from friends who plan to travel to the Philippines. Everyone is worried about safety issues in the Philippines. This note will explain it to everyone at once.
👉According to the 2023 National Security Index, the Philippines ranks 59th among global security countries, even surpassing some European and American countries such as Canada. Among Southeast Asian countries, the Philippines ranks second after Singapore and is the second safest country in Southeast Asia.
👀Any country will have relatively safe and chaotic areas. The information age has caused a mixture of information on the Internet, and everyone needs to have certain screening capabilities.
🚶♀️Most of the security incidents that occur in the Philippines occur in traditional dangerous areas. Generally, tourists will not go to these places. There are almost no reports of related cases on common tourist islands such as Bohol, Palawan, Boracay, etc.
🧳In short, as long as you don’t come into contact with pornography, gambling, drugs, or go to chaotic areas, it is relatively safe to travel to the Philippines. If you are really worried, you can consider traveling with a group.
🪪However, it is always good to be vigilant when traveling abroad. Here are a few precautions for your reference:
1️⃣Don’t show your wealth when traveling, dress as discreetly as possible, and avoid carrying valuables and large amounts of cash.
2️⃣Try to avoid traveling at night, especially traveling alone. Don’t go back to the hotel too late in the evening, try to go back to the hotel before 9 o’clock.
3️⃣Don’t trust people you don’t know and stay away from uninhabited alleys, slums and other dangerous places.
4️⃣ Carry a bag with a zipper. Keep your cell phone, money, passport, credit card, etc., and remember to close the zipper after taking things out.
5️⃣Reduce the number of times you lower your head and swipe your phone, and pay more attention to your surroundings.
6️⃣When you see children begging in groups, remember to walk away quickly, don’t give money, don’t touch them, and don’t communicate.
❗No place in the world is absolutely safe. As long as you keep a low profile when going out, don’t go out too late, and don’t go to remote places with few people, trouble will not come to you. I hope everyone can have a wonderful trip in the Philippines.
