Is it safe to travel to the Philippines? Of course, however there are certain factors you have to consider.

Look at the video above.

This a poor country and the things you'll be carrying with you are probably worth more that these people make in six months so keep that in mind.

Don't be ostentatious about your wealth. Dress down. Don't wear jewelery. Don't walk along with your cellphone oryour cam corder in your hand.

If you're going to be texting, stop and find a good place to do it.

Keep your head up and your hands free when you're walking. You wanna be paying attention. The Philippines is not a violent country. This is not the kind of country where people are going to confront you and violently rob you of your things.

When it comes to Philippines travel safety, you have to know that it's a country of opportunity. If you leave your things unattended, if you're inattentive yourself, if you're sitting with your bag beside you, behind you or on the floor, it becomes an easy target.

If you're walking along with your cellphone in your hand, not aware of your surroundings it becomes an an easy target for somebody to snatch.

You want to be not so much security conscious as aware of your surroundings and aware of where you are in the world.

The Philippines is a third world country and the reason for that is that there's no fourth world. There are no big problems here but please be aware.

So is it safe to travel to the Philippines? Absolutely. Just be on your guard.

  • Here's something... stay away from those areas

  • if you really need your phone outside in the street be sure you can buy a very low price phone... like a $20 phone.. that will make you immune to snatcher... this people only snatch if you provoke them with you wealth...

  • Thank you for the tip. Haven't been home since 2000. Looking forward to visit my native country soon.

  • easy, stay away from manila.

  • Good advice mate, they are not violent but opportunists. Snatching is the biggest danger, they are very skillful and very quick. I always have two wallets and I always wear cargo pants. I keep my real wallet secure in the buttoned pocket on the side of the cargo pants. I have a second wallet in my back pocket with a little bit of walking around money. I use the second wallet for ordinary everyday things and when I need to top it up, I will go somewhere safe such as an international hotel etc.

  • @ 0:41 man's right hand got amputated...maybe street justice, he was caught stealing and they cut his wrist

  • PAGPALAHIN KA NAWA NG DYOS BRO.
