OP if you've ever been to the PH, which I have the suspicion that it's one coomer scared going making these shit threads, it's insanely safe outside minor taxi scam of paying to much and maybe pickpocketing.
If you're not going to a resort or resort town
Step 1) Don't go outside Manila or Cebu
Step 2) if a drunk pino gets in your face just walk away

PH is literally the like "white rich guys first time going to a poor country" amusement park. You actually have to go full retard to get fucked, like actually go to places with signs telling you to stop and turn around, ignore locals telling you to stay away from X place, and so on. Most dangerous places are only accessible by boat and have no tourist attractions meaning you know why you are there. I highly doubt you're planning an epic trip to fucking Zamboanga.
