DON'T GO TO MINDANAO!! YOU'LL BE BOMBED, SHOT, OR KIDNAPPED!!! I hope it stays with these scaremonger tactics, means the place won't turn into tenerife, awash with casinos and westerners!
I'm afraid it's not working! :(
On my first visit to Tagum (only 19 months ago), I didn't see a single westerner for the 9 days between leaving Davao airport, and returning.
Yesterday, I saw three westerners in the space of 30 minutes in Tagum NCCC mall.
