Mindanao has many armed forces and poor public security. There are explosions, armed conflicts, kidnappings, and basically theft, fraud and robbery. Foreigners are strongly advised not to rush forward. Especially zamboanga peninsula in the middle and sulu archipelago in the west, near the east of Sabah, Indonesia, are the places where Filipino Muslim separatist organizations fled.

In addition, Abu Sayyaf, a radical Islamic terrorist armed group, is the number one rebel group in Mindanao, and has caused many international kidnappings, extortion and major terrorist attacks in the southwest of Mindanao and surrounding coastal towns. People from Taiwan Province province and mainlanders have been kidnapped by Abu Schaiffe before.

2. The sanitary conditions in the streets and lanes are poor, so please pay attention to food hygiene.

If the gastrointestinal function is not good, it is recommended to take gastrointestinal medicine with you. When choosing a restaurant, it is recommended to consider international chain restaurants or well-known local restaurants. In addition, don't try sashimi easily unless you can ensure the freshness of seafood.

3. Poor traffic construction.

The best infrastructure in the Philippines is concentrated in places where the rich live. Colleagues said that they paid for the road near their home. So when walking in the street, you must always pay attention to all directions and pay attention to the safety around you, such as uneven ground or sudden potholes.

In addition, traffic is busy and traffic signs often go on strike. Be very careful when crossing the road, because cars don't let people in the Philippines; Traffic signs often become reference signs for drivers. Even if it is a green light crossing the road, please look around again and make sure it is safe before you pass.

When crossing the road, our practice is to follow a group of local people. They are out of date, and we are right behind them.

Don't dress up as a rich young master when you don't go out at night. A sparsely populated place will attract the attention of robbers at night.
