What is life like in the Philippines?, what not to do, is this country really unsafe?

The Philippines is a country that was once colonized by Spain for more than 3 centuries, from 1521 to 1898. Spain handed over the Philippines to the United States, which lasted for 48 years before the Philippines gained independence. The name of this country, the Philippines, comes from the name of Spanish King Philip 2, given by a Spanish explorer named Rully Lopez in Villa Lobos, and the capital, Manila, is said to come from Arabic, which means "under God's protection".
