Dapitan beheading

[London_Manila]

Yes and as recently as 6th March 2003 and, in the interest of accuracy, it was one bomb killing 21 people, not three bombs killing 19. However on 7th July 2005, Islamic extremists detonated 3 bombs in London which killed 52 people: does that stop you from visiting London and travelling on its underground railway network or buses? I would very much doubt it. You are almost certainly at less risk of being a victim of crime in Davao than you are in London, Manchester, Liverpool or Birmingham. And that's not opinion, it's fact!

I live in London and did i ever say it was safe ?
Its only a matter of time until London gets attacked again from the same people as last time

I live and work here and have done all my life so there's not much i can do it....

As for visiting a part of the Philippines where the UK's government advises against going there is just looking for trouble. Muslim extremists are always getting up to something in Mindanao Island so please dont try and tell me its safe.

Abu Syyaf makes no secret of the fact that it actively targets foreigners and whiteys there stick out like a sore thumb................

That's exactly it.
London has a bombing - well it's about 8 and a half millon people targetted. White black and any number of colour in-between, the place is so mixed up it's very difficult to target specific groups. It used to be said even when I was a kid that if you were a bit different, a punk in your town, go to London and you'd not stick out anymore because so many others were just as "weird".

Whitey in Mindanao - you stick out. Period. Yes it may be safe, but in such a mono asian population, YOU are the most obvious target. Do the maths.
Is it safe - I haven't a clue
