I feel like there should be a disclaimer on this comment: "WARNING: you are more likely to get ripped off, shot, witness cartel activity, and/or have your organs illegally harvested in the Philippines. Please speak with your doctor to see if going to the Philippines is right for you."

There should be a disclaimer on your comment that says you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I think you're going a little bit too hard on the denial. I get you've lived there and seen your share of things, but that stuff IS more present.

I do appreciate that you don't want to let these things dissuade others from traveling there, but honestly, I would have benefitted greatly from hearing that warning before visiting Manila.

Are there risks? Sure, especially if you purposefully wander into shady activity. If you don’t, though, it’s largely a normal, albeit economically challenged, place. And the people, food and natural environment are great.
