How is the security in the Philippines?

What should I pay attention to if I want to go on a self-guided trip to the Philippines? I heard that public security is very poor. How can I be safer? Where are the must-see places in Manila?

I'm in Manila. What I want to say is that it is best to go in company if you are not familiar with the place, as it is easy to be fooled if you are alone.

First of all, when you arrive at the airport, you must take a taxi. There are two types of taxis. It is best to take the expensive one at night. There is a cheap one, which may be robbed. There is a precedent.

In addition, to be honest, ordinary Filipinos have a strong English accent, and it took me a while to get used to it before I could understand them. Generally we will learn some Lu dialect from other families, which is more convenient, especially when traveling by car, as long as you know a few words. In fact, the place names in the Philippines are too confusing. The main reason is that the signboards with place names are so broken that they cannot be seen clearly. They are not conspicuous at all. You are really confused when you first come here, so you might as well sign up. I don’t know whether you are a girl or a boy, but I know that a very small number of taxi drivers like to cheat on women. I have a friend who paid more than 100P for a taxi. The driver asked her for 1,000P. She refused to give it. The driver locked the door and didn’t pay. The solution is given. Generally, you can order in English. The price is about 20 yuan for a meal or fast food.

Because taking a taxi every day is too expensive (compared to China, it can’t be said to be very expensive), I usually ride a jeepney or take a tram, which is very cheap and only costs one or two yuan to cover a long distance. For visa procedures, please contact the embassy. It depends on the situation. Sino-Philippine relations are unstable and policies may change.

Safety means don’t go out at night, after eight or nine o’clock. I heard that there was a Korean woman who was beaten at night and never came back; there was also a Korean man and a woman who were walking on the street at night, but a group of gangsters across the street shot the man to death and raped and killed the woman. Don't expose your belongings where there are many people.

There are too many beggars. Don’t give to them all. Be careful of a large group of beggars surrounding you.

In fact, it is not that dangerous. The above are rare cases, just a reminder. Filipinos are more enthusiastic. If you don’t know the way, just ask the security guard. The security guards are very cool, they all hold a rifle or a pistol, and they dress very aggressively. They can speak English, but they have a strong accent.

Don’t change too much money at the airport. The exchange rate at the airport is low and deceptive. You can bring your UnionPay card to pick it up. The handling fee is more than RMB 40 each time. You can withdraw more.

Finally, there are many churches, including Manila Cathedral, Binondo Church, Makati, China Town, and others I forgot. In fact, this is a shopping paradise SM. Experience it for yourself.

People here in the Philippines have faith. Although it cannot be said that there are no bad people, there are generally more good-hearted people and fewer evil-minded people. Even if you do meet a bad person, there will still be very few hurtful people.

Is the Philippines very dangerous?

As a person in People who have lived in the Philippines for more than 15 years have also visited many places in the Philippines. The security situation in the Philippines is generally good. I think these are the points:

The Philippines is a Catholic country, and religious beliefs are still very effective in binding people's morals, so people are still very kind on the whole.

The Philippines is far less scary than what is reported in the news. In fact, there are many crimes every day in every city in every country, but there are more and less. I think the Philippines overall has less.

It is true that there are occasional terrorist attacks in the Philippines, but most of them are in the south. And there have been very few in recent years. Kidnappings don't involve ordinary people either. If you don't have a high profile or if you have enemies with others, it won't be your turn.

People will say that there are robberies here sometimes. First of all, it is usually a relatively remote place, so it is better to go out less often at night when there are few people in remote places. 2. Ordinary robberies will not harm the name.

So overall, the security here is relatively good. I think if you come here once, you will experience the warmth and friendliness of the Filipino people.
