2010-2015 Davao had 1000+ murders compared to 800+ for cebu arthur,davao also had the second highest number of rapes per city in pinas,check out the crime index,i hear of crimes often over there having family in the old bill,and a lot of small minor crimes go unrecorded.Its not the petty phone snatchers or appliance thieves who need to end up as salvage,they are easy targets,its bigger fish.
