Due to my love of the Philippines, perhaps one of the two most difficult things for me to have to report on are the scams, dangers and crime warnings contained in this website. Whether or not you utilize our services, we wish to stress that it is imperative that you be given enough information so that you are able to make an knowing and hopefully intelligent decision concerning your contemplated trip to the Philippines.
Irregardless of your love and desire to travel there to meet her, your own personal security and safety must always be at the forefront of any and all travel plans you may have! So read the information provided below and click on the links. At least this way you can make knowing and intelligent travel plans.
Remember that no matter where your online lady friend lives, even in the southern most regions of Mindinao, Basilan, Sulu and Zamboanga, Cagayan De Oro, Cavite, Manila, etc., she will almost always say that it is safe for you to travel there, and follow it up by telling you that there are so many other foreigners there. One way or another, and whether she is legit or not, it is in her best interest for you to travel there.
What most Filipina, Pinay never consider is that when you are an American you have white skin, pointy western nose and often blue or green eyes, blonde, brown or red hair… Therefore you must always be careful since you cannot change these physical traits and they do in effect place a target on you... If you do not always consider this fact, you are susceptible to attack, robbery, kidnap, robbery or worse!
That’s why we are even more vigilant when accompanying a client or friend to certain areas of the Philippines.
In addition to the dangers found in all major cities, there are also certain areas of religious and political unrest’s that one must also be aware of. These range from the New People’s Army (called NPA), to the Muslim extremists who are found primarily in parts of Mindinao. Most common of these are the Abu Sayyaf and the Muslim or Morrow Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Morrow Liberation Front (MLF) and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), and the Al Khobar group (Of these groups the Abu Sayyaf is considered the most violent and dangerous.)
