O.K. that’s fair, I knew someone would send a defending response. I have never gone to the Philippines and the above post simply transmitted comments from dozens of locals that have personally warned me to be cautious in the Southern Philippines. When I asked why, they respond “the Muslims are dangerous there.” They rebel against the Philippine government and do not welcome tourists. It is popularly known, those tours that have lost their heads in Mindanao were been taken by Muslims because they are proud and boast about their acts. Nonetheless, its common sense and generally goes without saying, but I will say it in this case, not all Philippine Muslims are bad.
