There is again a rash of kidnappings by the dreaded Abu Sayyaf group. The latest victim is a German that was beheaded when no ransom was paid. Another victim is a local doctor working in the rural area. It's not good to say but it is foolish to visit that part of the country for now. Don't go to Mindanao.

I was hoping to go back to the Phil. this year but was worried because of the current president. Is the Phil. safe for foreigners to visit now? The news in the USA is very bad about the Phil. right now.

I haven't been to Philippines before but I'm definitely going to take this information provided on this article very serious about avoiding Southern part of Philippines as a result of kidnapping cases. I have lots of friends who are in the country and there is always a chance of them inviting me over, so I would make sure to ask them the situation of southern Philippines. Thanks so much for sharing, I really appreciate.
