Thanks for all your replies. I have yet to make a final decision but your replies really help. I have travelled alot and I do try to blend in and not flash any personal belongings, jewellry, phones, cameras etc.
Unfortunately I only have time to stay there for a week, so I think we will just stay in Manila.
Im just concerned after looking at the UK foreign Office website which mentions kidnapping!!. They make it sound really unsafe. I don't want to be too scared to leave the hotel.
