Our long haul trip to CDO

[Terpe]

John,
Good to hear that you had an enjoyable trip (... aprt from the last 3 days !)

I'm travelling down to Mindanao in the next 3-4 weeks, so I'm curious as to how you found the atmosphere..... tense ? .... or the just the general "be careful" scenario ?
Any differences from your last trip ?

Thks

Hello BBJ
I'm sure you know where to go and where not to go as you've been travelling there numerous times.
Many places are not safe. It's a risk. Personally I avoid Cotabato and surrounding areas as I've had issues.
Davao City is OK the rest of the East Coast is uneasy for me although I do travel to Tagum, Mati etc
Around Cotabato, Bukidnon, Surigao etc I'd be very very careful but as long as you're experienced you should be OK

Let me know exactly where you will go
