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.

Been to Boracay, it's a paradise if your with your hun, going there alone is boring.
What other countries do they have guards outside 7/11, and warn people not to go outside the banking district, even the taxi drivers was speeding thru the city each time we visited L.A Cafe. From all the people i know from philippines, all have been robbed atleast, see it as a good sign instead that you never got robbed but pretending it's not gonna happend is a bit low... don't you think ?
