Pay attention to those when traveling to the Philippines on business

There are many armed forces in Mindanaga, the law and order is very poor, there are **, armed conflicts and kidnapping incidents at every turn, basically stealing and robbing are frequent, and foreigners are strongly advised not to rush forward. In particular, the Zamboanga Peninsula in the center and the Sulu Islands in the west are close to the eastern part of Indonesia's Savo Banda and are popular places for the Muslim factions in the Philippines.

2. The sanitary conditions in the streets and alleys are poor, please pay attention to food hygiene.

So, when you walk down the street, be sure to look in all directions and pay attention to the safety of your surroundings, such as uneven ground or sudden potholes.

Moreover, Filipinos are not very fluent in English, few people can speak Chinese, and many Chinese descendants do not speak Mandarin and only Hokkien.

4. As far as tourism projects are concerned, many programs in the Philippines, such as island tours, adventure tours (including diving, surfing, close encounters with sharks, etc.), cultural customs and scenery tours, are in line with the interests of Chinese outbound tourists.

Other places in Mindanao are very rich in tourism resources, but for safety reasons, travel agencies generally do not organize tourists to visit.
