IMPORTANT
One of the first things we like to establish with
our clientele is that the Philippines is an extremely
safe place to travel. As foreigners exploring the
Philippine archipelago we have at no time sensed any
animosity towards us. In reality it is quite the
opposite - the people are incredibly friendly, warm
hearted and extremely helpful. However travelers are advised to avoid most of Mindanao, an island group in the southern
Philippines where ethnic and religious animosities fuel ongoing
violence between a small minority group of Muslim
militants led by Abu Sayef against the local government.
