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!

Can I travel and have fun in the Philippines with only US$1000? I’m planning to travel to Philippines, but i am a little bit worried if US$1000 is going to be enough for me for one month. Is it possible?

I am American (and, of course, I have an American passport). What kind of money do I need in my bank account so I can travel there? Does my boyfriend in Philippines have to make a certain amount of money for me to be able to go there? I want to go to the Philippines [...]
