My place in Angeles was robbed (well...looted) after the Pinatubo eruption. I was just living with a g/f at that time though...no family.

Other than that, never had any problems when living there with my family, but we did have a fantastic guard dog, and I went round the house fitting proper locks, brought over from the UK, also steel lining, door bars etc, and (fake) CCTV cams.
