If you guys just take Manila to sample the philippines than you are dead wrong.
I can`t believe some of the ignorant and half educated judgments in this thread.
Can`t compare it to thailand, since I have never been there. But there are places in the philippines that compare to international tourist standards.
There are fantastic places on bohol, boracay, palawan, negros and other islands that are far from filthy.
I am staying here for my 7th year now, never been robbed, shot, kidnapped or never even lost my wallet once. And I do my fair share of drinking and partying.
