Locations that are favorable to tourists
Even if there is a crime in the Philippines, this does not mean you will be in danger. The majority of the activities take place away from the tourist regions. Of course, there will always be petty theft no matter where you go, so even in tourist-friendly locations, keep an eye out for your stuff and avoid walking in dark areas.
However, tourist-friendly locations are free of political instability. Beaches, museums, theaters, street vendors, and the local nightlife will all be available to you.
