I'm sorry but it does rather confirm everything I have heard about the Philippines.

So people don't get mugged in the UK then??

I feel safer walking about in the Philippines than I do in some places in the UK even though I feel that there are people watching me thinking I must have loads of money.
Perhaps Mae was "flashing the cash" or just a random victim. Could happen anywhere.
