I have a great story on this topic. My Filipina wife and I live in Seattle. Nearby there is a mall with a big Filipino store and restaurant in which a pack of elderly retired Filipino men gather everyday to hang out. One time my wife and her friend who are both from Mindinao walked by and they heard one of the Filipino men say "wow, look at those girls from Mindinao, they are the prettiest girls from Philippines." So there you go. My wife also has more of the Spanish features ie big brown eyes, doesn't have the Filipino nose and tanner complexion. To me, there is a big difference is beauty between the southern girls compared to girls from Manila and up north.
Gio, the more relevant question is getting to be: which islands have less real estate scams, less government, civil servant, and police scamming. Then, which islands have less girls scamming foreigners for a living.
The black haired, black eyed Muslim women of Mindanao bring a whole new meaning of women to die for! My ex-girlfriend and her family were born and raised in Mindanao and all those people were absolutely beautiful people. There was not enough work in Mindanao for them, so they ended up moving to Manila.
Very informative video, Gio. I've been to Zamboanga in the early 2000s and stayed with my co-teacher's relatives. They actually have an alarm in their house that goes off whenever there's a threat of danger outside. I love the place, but I've never gone back ever since.
Same here. The girl stayed with me and there were no problems. We took a boat trip to a nearby deserted island. Then she brought me to her college and gave me a tour. Showed me off to her friends and even introduced me to the dean! Definitely felt like a VIP. Never saw her again, but it was fun.
Thanks for mentioning Elliot. Other channels avoid talking about him and gloss over the travel ratings leaving the viewer to conclude that general crime is the issue. People need to know the truth and thanks for talking about it head on.
Great video Gio! I almost didn’t watch it because I’m not really looking for the most beautiful Filipinas. However, the information you shared about areas not to travel to is valuable. Thank you for doing this. Take care.
I've been back in the USA going on 6 months, most of the women I see are a 6 or below, anywhere you look in the Philippines most of the women are a 7 or above with much better attitudes.
Filipinas are a passive aggressive nightmare these days. Some of the most narcissistic people I have ever met with a smiley false exterior. But yes, some are prettier than western women
6 or below? I would say average american woman is a 3 or below. 5 is average. Most americans are obese and neglect their health. So in general... most american women is therefor below 5 with a good margin.
The most beautiful Filipinas they are the so called top tiered ARE NOT FOUND IN THE DATING APPS GIO. These Filipinas are working class.They are in the corporate and professional world. They are financially independent, no baggage or financial burdened from the family they are middle and upper class of the society. THOSE THAT ARE IN THE DATING APPS ARE FINANCIALLY HARD UP WITH BIG FAMILY TO FEED INCLUDING THEIR SIBLINGS. Many of them are single mother with childrens to feed and are being the breed winner on an extended family with no stable income in short many of them are lefovers. While those greater majority good class of Filipinas has stable income and jobs working in the government, big companies or handling small businesses.
Spitting facts!!! You can't tell some people the truth nor get them to understand. They will learn the hard way. My asawa is originally from Bicol, but was living and working in Las Pinas for 21 years before we met. No kids, only one boyfriend before we met (family and others confirmed), owned her own home in Batangas before we met and properties in Bicol. She is college educated with degree in Business Management and Accounting.
I found my beautiful girl in Angeles. We are now married and living in the USA. I'm 73 and she is 33. She looks 18! Bringing a girl long term to the USA is an EXPENSIVE proposition!d.The fees are CRAZY!
Key word is Bisaya. From Mindanao, I believe it's pretty much what you described. It's also a language they speak. As for the kidnapped: that dude really pissed off the wrong people. I believe it's even been declassified as a kidnapping. That town looks to be about two hours from Zamboanga. He had gotten several specific warnings that this would happen and he ignored them.I feel very sorry for him, but don't know if they have plans to return him.
Thanks for your info Gio. I’m going to Valencia Mindanao, in 4 weeks. I’ll be keeping a low profile, and visiting my gal and her daughter. Yes she is beautiful outside for features, but more importantly a beautiful person on the inside, which counts the most for me. ❤🙏👧🏻🙌
Do you think GenSen is safe ? i have a friend of mine moving there next week to live with his LDR , i did give him a heads up ref the whole area same advice as your saying !
Sometimes a guy will say he has been to some town or region and the girls there are the prettiest and friendliest in the Philippines. Then you talk to four other guys and they say the same but it is four other places. And you know what? Probably all of them are correct.
I believe that area of Mindanao was also historically where many pirates operated out of for quite a long time. Good advice Gio for anyone. Never go someplace where you might get a bag dropped over your head and you never see your family again.
Pampanga for Japanese looking girls Cebu for Mexican looking girls Mountain provinces for Thai looking girls Zamboanga for Indonesian looking girls Western Visayas for VNese looking girls Eastern Visaya for Cambodian looking girls
I wish I knew the different areas you mentioned and how they look. I find Chinese ladies, Mongolian specifically, most beautiful. Where in Philippines might be closest to that I wonder? Narrow, Asian eyes.
I've only been in the Philippines for two months and I haven't traveled outside of MM YET. My understanding is that the "South" of Mindanao is risky. But, that Davao is considered fairly low risk. But, Davao is fairly far South. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks
Bottom line is if theres even a remote chance of getting kidnapped and or killed don't go there , if she won't come to you somewhere safe move on , a possible relationship isn't worth dying over especially someone you've never even met . I've been talking to a girl from Dauin that lives in Dumagete now that i would feel perfectly safe meeting and to be honest in the looks department she's way out of my league :) also she's employed and in the little over a year that i've known her hasn't asked me for a dime . We just get online and talk about the ordinary sometimes funny sometimes sad sometimes neither things in life several times a week and do plan on a face to face when i manage to get over there , neither one of us is committed to anything so far , just a i like her and she likes me kind of situation .
If you want to find natural beauties, cordillera is the place. You will find ladies who are just simple but have natural beauties. They dont use make ups. Like lipstick, eyebrow, cueticks etc etc.
Why take the risk when there are beautiful women all over the Philippines? For me, some of the most beautiful women are working in the market, working at the coffee shop, working at the gym. Maybe after I move to the Philippines I’ll think about spending a week in Mindanao, but I don’t think I would start a relationship with a girl from those restricted areas, then have to go there to meet the family…If you’re Jason Bourne maybe, but why take the risk…
there are just 2 places I want to visit in Mindanao.Davao city,and Siargao Island,otherweise I dont have any other desire to visit Mindanao.I just talked to a women from Zamboanga,she wants me to come visit her,but I have no desire to travel that area especially with the safety concerns,and hearing about Elliot Eastman.
Plane Ticket: Those are great thoughts, but isn't a plane ticket about $60? In my case I'd actually prefer to send her the money and consider it well spent if she ran off with it. Discovering that I couldn't trust her early in the game is worth so much more than a plane ticket. If she shows up then we've laid a foundation for trust and my time is well spent. If I make it so that she can't scam me on the little things, then I may not learn her true colors until much later and there's much more on the line. I win in both scenarios and how can I complain about that? You just have to recognize when a bad thing is actually a good thing and what its total value is.
I'll be going to that area next year with my Filipina to meet her parents. I was in Davao/Tagum w/o any concerns w/ my Filipina. Solo, yeah, I could see maybe not going to those areas. This is no different then telling foreigners not to visit certain areas of Detroit, Baltimore, and so on.
Was the Italian Priest ferried off of the island by boat just like Elliot was? I'm avoiding using certain words in the comments section because youtube will censor them.
My first trip in 2007 I saw so many cute ones and skinny ones, and I made like a few trips per year, starting around 2015 or so it seems like a bunch of the skinny girl are now chubby, kinda sad.
Yeah, I think the island is getting a bad wrap I have been really looking at retiring in Cebu, and Davao and have only read good things about both city. No place is ever fully safe people just need common sense and the chances of something bad happening drop 90%.
I was in Subic and saw a Filipina with very East Asian features. She may have been mixed race, but is there a region where the women look more Asian than Pacific Islander?
The most beautiful Filipinas are in the construct of my mind... and I'm not getting Chipped, lol. I have almost no Filipina dating experience, but with so many beautiful Filipinas in all the islands, why would you risk going to the Danger Zone (cue Kenny Loggins). While Siargao may technically be part of Mindanao I see it as very separate (by water and attitude and religious composition) from the rest of the region.... IMO. Peace and Love, B Goat
Darn, those state department maps are visually difficult to follow, squiggly lines over terrain and rivers. They would serve us well if the state department would use color shades rather than lines to define areas of concern. Gio does a great job with info and narration, but I kind of got lost following the maps. Mindanao is not even labeled on the map. I am not good with maps that are not labeled with the right details. But I did take a moment to Google a large map of Mindanao and surrounding areas, Thanks to Gio for a good topic of safety and interest.
Guys; it may seem crazy to you, but many girls do not have legal I.D. to get onto a plane. Often they will only have their school I.D.. Do not assume they can quickly and easily get legal I.D., either. Lastly, they may not have the money to pay for an I.D.
I've been to Davao, Samal Island and General Santos (a couple days) and did not feel in danger at all. My girlfriend is from T'Boli, south of GenSan. I will probably go there some day for a few days. Zamboanga, Sulu, Marawi - no way. I won't even visit for a day. I will not put my life at risk.
I just googled Marawi and it's officially called the Islamic City of Marawi...an islamic city in a Christian country. Crazy. Guess they just want to keep some sort of semblance of peace.
@@Noble_Truths Certain areas of Mindanao are heavily Muslim areas. That is the only area of the country where there is a significant population of Muslim people. I don’t care how beautiful the woman is. If you don’t share the same religion, values and ideology then you don’t have a lot in common. Especially when you can find an incredible Filipina who is Christian, morale, beautiful and a great wife in any other part of the country including Mindanao. Not worth the risk guys. These are the mistakes Elliot Eastman made. Learn from his mistakes and be a little bit more cautious.
The best looking Filipinas live in Muslim Mindanao, which sucks because it’s dangerous to go there. There are others areas that have nice looking women but there’s nice and then there’s Perfection.
Hey Gio my wife from Davao city near airport is adamant that its safe there and I guess Duterte cleaned the place up, but I also remember the saga os Samal which I own property , confusing for sure.
I’ve been to Butuan city and as far as CDO but that’s as far as I will travel, but i am aiming to settle in Cebu, so I understand about not traveling to the most southwest of the Philippines. My ex is from Camiquin island, I’ve taken the ferry from CDO to the island a few times and I’ve never had any issues plus there are so many checkpoints in CDO once you head to the ferry.
My wife is from south of Davao and about 5'7" and 110 pounds. She has not varied in weight, up or down, by over 5 pounds in the over 13 years we have been together, and she probably eats 3X what I do. She was a single mother at the time btw. She could have been a model,
@@GiointhePhilippines Normally your title should be your main video not just one sentence. Unless you add to your title general conversation like the danger and area etc but it was clearly indicating one title not multi. Just saying
Well, if you like big women, the US is a great place. The average American 20-year-old woman weighs 170.2 pounds. I’m 64 ,154 pounds in great shape ,six pack still spar with my sons. I’m just not interested in that, I travel out of the US if I want to date someone. Like someone else said in the comments too it’s the attitude here. I don’t want another man. I’m looking for a feminine woman and they are rare here in the US. Although I have never been to the Philippines, but I am curious about it. And that’s why I’m watching the video. Thank you for posting it.
I think that a lot of guys who say women in the Philippines are better looking are comparing the women around their own age that they might have a chance with in their own country to someone 30 years their junior in the Philippines that they could have a chance with. I've been back in the Vancouver BC area (Surrey to be specific) for almost 6 months and my wife and I have spent a lot of time on public transit such as busses, and the Skytrain, and I'll tell you women here age for age are just as beautiful as anywhere in the Philippines. Having said that if I'd look around the bus or Skytrain I was the only caucasian 95 percent of the time.
I was recently in the Philippines and stupidly did not bring much money at all as I had gotten advice to just use the ATM's. Well for reasons I won't go into, I had problems with the ATM's at the airport. I had told my banks I was going to be there, so that was not the cause. Anyway I strongly advise anyone going there to bring at least enough to get you out of the airport. The Service at the airport did take my card for a much higher amount but I was just happy to get the he__ out of there.
Eddy built Beverly hills in cebu. And was an amazing guys. Half american Indian. Jumped ship in letey . Us navy. Had tons of kids and made loads of money. Much admired and loved by everyone. One tough Guy. Old school
Hi Gio I met my gf 10 months ago online. 3 months later I visited her in Manila where she was living and working at the time. Everything is going great and the relationship is strong, and she is now pregnant with my child. The date of the birth is in January,and now she is living back at home in her birthplace of Zamboanga city. With the recent news,and the awareness that you have discussed recently causes concern. I really need to be there in January, I dont want to miss it for anything What are your thoughts on this situation? I would very much appreciate your thoughts,as you have explored this part before. Ive been to Davao City before and loved it, but I know its probably very different to Zamboanga Cheers Gary
That's not true. $ is blind to religion, race...etc. If a nonmuslim lives in Muslim areas and has bigot mindset then he will be in trouble but if you respect them and is a good human being then you should not have problem. In small chance, if you are a Muslim is part of the community, you may have more protection.
I have been to the Philippines many times ,I have good friends in Mindano ( Tampakan) 2015 it was different then it is today, I just came back 4 weeks ago stayed a few days with friends spent a week in Gensen, Talking to many people they all said the same thing, things are safe but not as safe as it was when the past government was in power , I traveled from Gensen to south Cotabato with no troubles, You must be a wear of your surroundings but that goes for any country, As for the beautiful women yes they are all around the Philippines, But they have become to Americanized and don't take care of their bodies after having a child , not like other Asian countries , take China for example 6 months after having a baby you would never know if she had had a baby, also in Singapore they care about personal appearance,

We just get online and talk about the ordinary sometimes funny sometimes sad sometimes neither things in life several times a week and do plan on a face to face when i manage to get over there , neither one of us is committed to anything so far , just a i like her and she likes me kind of situation .
I live in general Santos city with my Filipino flance and have not had any trouble or a problem there
I been to general Santos city and have know problems there my flance lives there
If you want to find natural beauties, cordillera is the place. You will find ladies who are just simple but have natural beauties. They dont use make ups. Like lipstick, eyebrow, cueticks etc etc.
Where abouts is Codillera?
Iam a Fil-USC. I was born in the Philippines. Bicol is one place that has beautiful women.
Why take the risk when there are beautiful women all over the Philippines?
For me, some of the most beautiful women are working in the market, working at the coffee shop, working at the gym.
Maybe after I move to the Philippines I’ll think about spending a week in Mindanao, but I don’t think I would start a relationship with a girl from those restricted areas, then have to go there to meet the family…If you’re Jason Bourne maybe, but why take the risk…
exactly. screw that whole area. let them watch the rest of the Phils improve as money avoids the bad areas!!
there are just 2 places I want to visit in Mindanao.Davao city,and Siargao Island,otherweise I dont have any other desire to visit Mindanao.I just talked to a women from Zamboanga,she wants me to come visit her,but I have no desire to travel that area especially with the safety concerns,and hearing about Elliot Eastman.
You should add Camiguin Island
@@GiointhePhilippines Ill check that out.Thank you.
Plane Ticket: Those are great thoughts, but isn't a plane ticket about $60? In my case I'd actually prefer to send her the money and consider it well spent if she ran off with it. Discovering that I couldn't trust her early in the game is worth so much more than a plane ticket. If she shows up then we've laid a foundation for trust and my time is well spent. If I make it so that she can't scam me on the little things, then I may not learn her true colors until much later and there's much more on the line. I win in both scenarios and how can I complain about that? You just have to recognize when a bad thing is actually a good thing and what its total value is.
I had a girl from Zamboanga city that was gorgeous lives in the mountains. I never pulled the trigger to meet her
@@amigo2k10 how? Dating app?
How, dating app?
I'll be going to that area next year with my Filipina to meet her parents. I was in Davao/Tagum w/o any concerns w/ my Filipina. Solo, yeah, I could see maybe not going to those areas. This is no different then telling foreigners not to visit certain areas of Detroit, Baltimore, and so on.
Was the Italian Priest ferried off of the island by boat just like Elliot was? I'm avoiding using certain words in the comments section because youtube will censor them.
Yes, he was.
Gio, which has more dark skin ladies?
Bantayan Cebu.... in fact any of the more remote islands where they live on the beaches. One of my old flames was dark what a stunner.
The most beautiful women are in the AI computer generation app.
They are flights from zamboanga to davao low as 900 php
is the kidnapping free of charge with the flight?
My first trip in 2007 I saw so many cute ones and skinny ones, and I made like a few trips per year, starting around 2015 or so it seems like a bunch of the skinny girl are now chubby, kinda sad.
What about Puerto Galera?
Nice place
Cavite, Zamboanga, Cebu, Davao area.
I plan to visit CDO and Davao but that area is a No Fly Zone for me
Yeah, I think the island is getting a bad wrap I have been really looking at retiring in Cebu, and Davao and have only read good things about both city. No place is ever fully safe people just need common sense and the chances of something bad happening drop 90%.
San Miguel , Leyte
I was in Subic and saw a Filipina with very East Asian features. She may have been mixed race, but is there a region where the women look more Asian than Pacific Islander?
The most beautiful Filipinas are in the construct of my mind... and I'm not getting Chipped, lol. I have almost no Filipina dating experience, but with so many beautiful Filipinas in all the islands, why would you risk going to the Danger Zone (cue Kenny Loggins). While Siargao may technically be part of Mindanao I see it as very separate (by water and attitude and religious composition) from the rest of the region.... IMO. Peace and Love, B Goat
Gio. What did you do in the army?
Medic
@@GiointhePhilippines I was a chaplains assistant and a track vehicle inspector
How about GenSen city? Have you been there. Pacquiao country
Gensan I've been many times. Overall it's safe.
Darn, those state department maps are visually difficult to follow, squiggly lines over terrain and rivers. They would serve us well if the state department would use color shades rather than lines to define areas of concern. Gio does a great job with info and narration, but I kind of got lost following the maps. Mindanao is not even labeled on the map. I am not good with maps that are not labeled with the right details. But I did take a moment to Google a large map of Mindanao and surrounding areas, Thanks to Gio for a good topic of safety and interest.
Correct Gio. But
Lots of girls in cebu are refugees from osamis Zamboanga etc. lovely
Guys; it may seem crazy to you, but many girls do not have legal I.D. to get onto a plane. Often they will only have their school I.D.. Do not assume they can quickly and easily get legal I.D., either. Lastly, they may not have the money to pay for an I.D.
I've been to Davao, Samal Island and General Santos (a couple days) and did not feel in danger at all. My girlfriend is from T'Boli, south of GenSan. I will probably go there some day for a few days. Zamboanga, Sulu, Marawi - no way. I won't even visit for a day. I will not put my life at risk.
I just googled Marawi and it's officially called the Islamic City of Marawi...an islamic city in a Christian country. Crazy. Guess they just want to keep some sort of semblance of peace.
Clever comment bigot.
@@Noble_Truths
@@Noble_Truths Certain areas of Mindanao are heavily Muslim areas. That is the only area of the country where there is a significant population of Muslim people. I don’t care how beautiful the woman is. If you don’t share the same religion, values and ideology then you don’t have a lot in common. Especially when you can find an incredible Filipina who is Christian, morale, beautiful and a great wife in any other part of the country including Mindanao. Not worth the risk guys. These are the mistakes Elliot Eastman made. Learn from his mistakes and be a little bit more cautious.
Where would the Chinese influence be most prevalent?
The best looking Filipinas live in Muslim Mindanao, which sucks because it’s dangerous to go there. There are others areas that have nice looking women but there’s nice and then there’s Perfection.
Hey Gio my wife from Davao city near airport is adamant that its safe there and I guess Duterte cleaned the place up, but I also remember the saga os Samal which I own property , confusing for sure.
I’ve been to Butuan city and as far as CDO but that’s as far as I will travel, but i am aiming to settle in Cebu, so I understand about not traveling to the most southwest of the Philippines. My ex is from Camiquin island, I’ve taken the ferry from CDO to the island a few times and I’ve never had any issues plus there are so many checkpoints in CDO once you head to the ferry.
Hello, I am US Army Gulf War Veteran, Gio
Mindanao sounds like a good argument for avoiding Mindanao.
My wife is from south of Davao and about 5'7" and 110 pounds. She has not varied in weight, up or down, by over 5 pounds in the over 13 years we have been together, and she probably eats 3X what I do. She was a single mother at the time btw. She could have been a model,
The most beautiful Filipinas are on TikTok
It's October...and you have a Christmas tree up...
Yea, we are late this year
@GiointhePhilippines 😂
Like what the song of Introvoys said " Sa Maynila Ka Makakahanap Ng Magagandang Babae " so that's it .
You got your Christmas tree up early
Not for the Philippines 😁
Your title is not what your video is why?
I discussed it and answered it.
@@GiointhePhilippines Normally your title should be your main video not just one sentence. Unless you add to your title general conversation like the danger and area etc but it was clearly indicating one title not multi. Just saying
His title is exactly what the video was about. Zamboanga.
Well, if you like big women, the US is a great place. The average American 20-year-old woman weighs 170.2 pounds. I’m 64 ,154 pounds in great shape ,six pack still spar with my sons. I’m just not interested in that, I travel out of the US if I want to date someone. Like someone else said in the comments too it’s the attitude here. I don’t want another man. I’m looking for a feminine woman and they are rare here in the US.
Although I have never been to the Philippines, but I am curious about it. And that’s why I’m watching the video. Thank you for posting it.
I think that a lot of guys who say women in the Philippines are better looking are comparing the women around their own age that they might have a chance with in their own country to someone 30 years their junior in the Philippines that they could have a chance with. I've been back in the Vancouver BC area (Surrey to be specific) for almost 6 months and my wife and I have spent a lot of time on public transit such as busses, and the Skytrain, and I'll tell you women here age for age are just as beautiful as anywhere in the Philippines. Having said that if I'd look around the bus or Skytrain I was the only caucasian 95 percent of the time.
Canadian women have ugly personalities.
I was recently in the Philippines and stupidly did not bring much money at all as I had gotten advice to just use the ATM's. Well for reasons I won't go into, I had problems with the ATM's at the airport. I had told my banks I was going to be there, so that was not the cause. Anyway I strongly advise anyone going there to bring at least enough to get you out of the airport. The Service at the airport did take my card for a much higher amount but I was just happy to get the he__ out of there.
Where can u find wimen with rhe most substance?
If the substance is BS, you will find most of those girls online. 😏
I think the most beautiful filipina are usually from Bicol region - truly Filipina beauty
Years ago General Santos had a bunch of real cute girls.
The most beautiful Filipinas are obviously from Zambales, along the west coast of Luzon. Trust me on this.
Chavacano is to spanish, like hatian is to french.
Leyte. Emelda Marcos beauty queen married the president was from Leyte.
But had an affair with a n american called Eddy woolbright first. Pissed off Marcos
You would need a decent budget for shoes in that case.
Eddy built Beverly hills in cebu. And was an amazing guys. Half american Indian. Jumped ship in letey . Us navy. Had tons of kids and made loads of money. Much admired and loved by everyone. One tough Guy. Old school
What areas have more of an Asian look, lighter skin and less Latin and less indigenous look?
I prefer a woman without fake-up. Do the ladies in the Province wear makeup? Cheers!
Well one of the prettiest is geos home😊
I'd just shop elsewhere.
yeah , Filipina beauty is everywhere. nothing is worth being in a dangerous area.
Been going to pinas for 15 years, the hottest chicks I've seen in phils are in Zamboanga and puerta princesa..👌
The most beautiful Filipinas are in AI just like your thumb nail....
Hi Gio
I met my gf 10 months ago online.
3 months later I visited her in Manila where she was living and working at the time.
Everything is going great and the relationship is strong, and she is now pregnant with my child.
The date of the birth is in January,and now she is living back at home in her birthplace of Zamboanga city.
With the recent news,and the awareness that you have discussed recently causes concern.
I really need to be there in January, I dont want to miss it for anything
What are your thoughts on this situation?
I would very much appreciate your thoughts,as you have explored this part before.
Ive been to Davao City before and loved it, but I know its probably very different to Zamboanga
Cheers
Gary
Well, I think it is fine but stay within the city, don't travel outside of the city and I would not stay more than a few weeks.
Thankyou👍@@GiointhePhilippines
I heard you should not go to the Muslim areas unless you’re Muslim too. Is that true?
Yes, for sure.
That's not true. $ is blind to religion, race...etc.
If a nonmuslim lives in Muslim areas and has bigot mindset then he will be in trouble but if you respect them and is a good human being then you should not have problem. In small chance, if you are a Muslim is part of the community, you may have more protection.
I have been to the Philippines many times ,I have good friends in Mindano ( Tampakan) 2015 it was different then it is today, I just came back 4 weeks ago stayed a few days with friends spent a week in Gensen, Talking to many people they all said the same thing, things are safe but not as safe as it was when the past government was in power , I traveled from Gensen to south Cotabato with no troubles, You must be a wear of your surroundings but that goes for any country, As for the beautiful women yes they are all around the Philippines, But they have become to Americanized and don't take care of their bodies after having a child , not like other Asian countries , take China for example 6 months after having a baby you would never know if she had had a baby, also in Singapore they care about personal appearance,
