Is Manila Safe?

[englishbird]

manilas as safe as the guy your with. if you can trust him well and he has his wits about him you should be as safe with him as you would be in london.

I trust him completely. He is from manila, so he knows where not to take me.

I guess im just concerned because everytime I say to a friend or colleague that Im thinking of going there, they look at me as if I ve lost the plot!.
