I have been all over pinas,only once really felt uneasy and that was when a guy pulled a gun on me in iloilo,but he was drunk and didnt really have any intention of shooting me,just wanted to scare me a little.I went up Mt Bongao once and heard rumours of some idiot kids chatting about kidnapping the foreigner when i left bongao,but that was just kids chatting crap.Davao has its dark side,cop shot the other week because he was drunk,young girl gang raped etc,but manila feels more threatening than davao for the average westerner,it is what it is,murder,kidnap and mayhem are worldwide,wherever you get people your going to get crime,mindanao doesnt have the monopoly.
