Mindanao - huge island with problem spots. One Brit kidnapped in the past one year. Portugal - safe as houses, one British girl still missing. Thailand, safe place - Welsh girl murdered and raped on beach. India, Goa, young girl drugged, raped and murdered. Newport - Vietnamese guy dragged into hospital and left for dead.
Read all that, and you will never leave your home.

i think you made a mistake dom with your abacus , its more than Ł5000, and its not me who thinks that, but his chinese business partner thinks he could have .. sounds like the guy is more worried about his money than his partner
as for goa, there's been a few murders there, but then again 100,000s of tourists go there every year, and how many whitey's go to the zamboanga
do the military still keep a tally of the whiteys at the airport as they land and leave ?

Although i have been to Mindanao a few times and plan to move there i still would not go to the part of the island where this guy was even if it turned out he was not kidnapped.

With out commenting on this particular case.
It does show that the possible dangers of Business in Phill.
Money or the perception that you have lots of money in an area where they dont (or at least the avg person) can lead to alsorts of danger.

I was wondering, whether there was any news on him.
Glad to see, he hadn't been abducted...Looks like he has some explaining to do?

glad to see that he is safe... but again why was this not on the news?
A man goes missing = nothing
a girl goes missing = world wide coverage when we all know she was killed by her parents (did i just say that?)
