Still Safe to Travel to Philippines?

Due to the recent kidnappings in the Philippines, is it still safe to go and travel there? I would love to go soon with my friends, but i don’t want to end up as a hostage for ransom. An enlightenment on this issue would be great. Thanks!

    1. You need a current US passport that is more than six months from its expiration date.

    2. A valid non-electronic round trip airline ticket.

    3. An address in the Philippines you will be located. I just name a hotel or resort I will visit.

    4. Do not bring cash, use an ATM card. Be sure the card has machines in the location you will visit and contact your bank in person that you will be using that ATM card in Philippines.

    5. Make a copy of your passport, credit and ATM cards kept in a safe place in case they are lost.

    6. Bring sun screen and have fun!
