Do us white guys really need to take extra care when living there?
Yes 100%
Of course many guys get lulled into a false sense of security because they have made many visits to the philippines and nothing ever happened to them
Scrimping on security over there really is a false economy and some guys take that route because of the costs involved
I stayed in a 2 bedroom rented apartment in Mayfield Park in Cainta Manila and i think they had more guards there than residents
I found that part of Manila very pleasent and walking anywhere in Cainta was fine
