Anybody here from the Philippines?

[Gandalf]

My friend is married to a Filipino and goes there every two years. She has a lot of family out there and what have you. If you have any questions you would like me to ask just shoot me a pm. I don't know a great deal having only been to Manila, but in a big city like that you can do, see, or eat anything you like. On my holiday suggestion list too actually, but would avoid the shark thing.

More than 7,000 people were killed in the brutal ‘war on drugs’ in the Philippines between July 2016 and January 2017, under instruction from the country’s president, Rodrigo Duterte. Duterte ordered Philippines’ police forces to kill anyone they believe to be connected to the drugs trade when he assumed office in June 2016. State forces and vigilante groups have followed through these orders ruthlessly.

According to police counts in the Philippines, 7,025 people were killed by the police or unknown armed attackers in the ‘war on drugs’ between 1 July 2016 and 30 January 2017. An average of 34 people a day died during the first six months of Duterte’s presidency, thanks to his hardline policy.

Duterte is denying his citizens the right to life, as well as the right to equality before the law and a fair trial. We are calling for an urgent end to the state-sponsored killings, and for authorities in the Philippines to pursue fair means of bringing those who are alleged to have broken the law to justice.

This is from amnesty international. Under Dutertes rule the place is crazy but I imagine the resort areas are ok. There have been kidnappings at the resorts by some of the Muslim extremist groups but if u got ransom money u should be ok

The Muslim insurrection is in the south, around the Mindanao area, and we are going to be very far from that.

Anyway, I lived in the Middle East for over a decade, speak Arabic and also understand all the rules tenets and quotes of Islam, so I would be able to persuade any jihadi that I am actually a Muslim too. I have no worries about that.
