[miguel]

i had a philipino friend work with me in here than he return home and about few mounths he invited me to go there but i read in some place is not a safe place now my question is ok to travel or not?
if we see all the places are safe and dangerous is us who have to measure the risks but i like to have some opinions from who know this area thank u

Not sure of the current situation? but I understand it's not a safe place to go...particularly South Cotobato. Plenty of Rebels & fighting going on, so I've heard from family...But I've never personally been there.

Not been there myself but The Foreign Office advise against going to North and South Cotabato,
