It's great to see a post like that. I think it must be my 35th trip to the Phils this year. Last trip I had my mobile (cell) and wallet (about PhP 10 000) snatched by a gang of street kids in Ermita. The only time I have been a victim of crime, and I saw it coming, there must have been 8 kids aged from 6 to 16 years old so what could I do? The police were parked 50 feet away around the corner, and were more interested in having their photo taken with me at my hotel....hehehe. Who cares I will be back soon....
