Kidnap for ransom is a very real prospect in the Philippines. Criminal gangs have mainly (but not exclusively) focused on the wealthy Chinese community over the past ten years. The danger to travelers increases signifigantly on Mindanao where besides ordinary criminals you may also come under the attention of the revolutionary's that operate there.
 Numerous revolutionary groups operate in the Philippines ... the most notorious of which the ABU SAYAFF have kidnapped for ransom and murdered tourists in the past ... this is a list of the most prominent groups with links for more information

  Life is cheap in the Philippines guns ,grenades , machetes , knives , weapons everywhere ... you could get somebody killed for $10 ...
Cause a Filipino to lose face and the typical retribution is a stabbing
Never raise your voice at a Filipino away from your own neighborhood. Never call a Filipino "STUPID". They are very sensitive about it. If you do get angry and make the mistake. Please leave the place as soon as possible .Go Away Fast because you are in more DANGER than you realize. Filipinos do not like to fight and "fair fights" are not the custom, "fight to kill" is.
