Safety Tips

Because of the widespread poverty in the city, squatter settlements abound in the less-cosmopolitan areas. This has made crimes such as break-ins, extortion, pickpocketing, purse snatching, and con games commonplace. Pickpockets are usual in places where people congregate, such as busy streets, markets, shopping malls, and transportation terminals.

That is why first-time visitors are advised not to venture around Metro Manila on their own, especially at night. Taxi drivers are notorious for extorting exorbitant fees, even in short distances.  more
