When I hear about foreigners being murdered in the Philippines I like to know the reason why. It seems the deaths that have occured over the past five years since I've been associated with the country have either come from - a) An individual resisting while being mugged b) Ripping off or treading on the toes of a local c) Xenophobia d) Men who have met a Filipina that have a jealous ex boyfriend/current boyfriend lurking in the shadows.

Maybe what Peter said about people sticking out like a sore thumb can be added to that list too.
