Thread: Is Manila Safe?

13th June 2009 #31
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Mabuhay sa Maynila Your first introduction to the delights/dangers of Metro Manila will be the airport taxi depending upon which side of the bed your Cabbie got out of that morning you will either be charged an extortionate amount,or a bankrupting amount for the pleasure of sitting in Manilas traffic for an hour as he takes you the 6 kilometers to the hotel of your choice

Which goes to show that anywhere in the world there would be places that aren't safe at all. Holloway Road in London for instance is neither safe...in Lancaster Gate a lot of guests lost their bags although it's the Westminster Area and policemen are just lurking nearby.
I am pretty sure you will be safe in Manila as you will be with your friend who is a Filipino, he won't do stupid things to put you at risk. Manila was my second home and I would love to be back and enjoy it even for a couple of days.
I hope you will enjoy Manila and do keep safe!The bravest thing that men do is love women--Mort Sahl

You always feel safe in Manila with all the heavily armed guards in the hotels,and the shopping malls,and McDonalds,and the sweet shops...........

Join the loyalty club for the Ascott Group - The Somersets' are part of the same chain. When you log in you'll find some much more attractive rates - & currently a 25% discount offer on the best rates, but non refundable. You should be able to get The Ascott for round about £100 for a very large one bedroom suite including a good buffet breakfast for 2 & you may get free internet, local calls & possibly at least a one way airport transfer. The Somersets should be nearer £60.
Of The Somersets' I marginally prefer The Millennium which is in a quiet street very close to Greenbelt.
Two other things. Firstly if you aren't being picked up get the hotel to book you a car. It will be from the Nissan counter which is just outside the doors on the right. The airport has a kind of inner security area in to which non passengers find it almost impossible to enter. The Nissan counter is in this inner sanctum. The car will cost more but you will avoid having to go out in to the Zoo, which is scary enough let alone on your first visit and after a very long flight.
Secondly this may make me a bit unpopular for pointing it out, but if you aren't clearly white, unbelievable as it may sound, you are likely to encounter some racism!!

Some of the most beautiful women I have seen in pinas are the darkest,yet its the lightest pinays who get the jobs presenting on TV or hosting chatshows etc,theres most certainly an underlying current of racism running through pinoy society
