United States Embassy Manila
Security Message for U.S. Citizens:  Risk of Kidnapping in Southern Cebu

 
November 03, 2016
  
The U.S. Embassy alerts U.S. citizens that terrorist groups are planning to conduct kidnappings in areas frequented by foreigners on the southern portion of Cebu Island, specifically the areas around Dalaguete and Santander (to include Sumilon Island).
 
U.S. citizens should avoid travel to these areas and are reminded to review personal security plans; remain aware of their surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates.  Be vigilant and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security.  
 
Furthermore, the Embassy wishes to remind all U.S. citizens of the most recent Department of State Worldwide Caution, dated September 13, 2016, which indicates there is an ongoing threat of terrorist actions and violence against United States citizens and interests abroad, including the Philippines.  Extremists have targeted sporting events, theaters, markets, mass transportation systems – including airlines, and other public venues where large crowds gather.  Crowded nightclubs, shopping malls, buses, and popular restaurants have also been targets.  The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens of the importance of taking preventative measures to ensure their safety and security while traveling and residing in the Philippines‎.

Plus the terrorists know that they will not get any ransom money from those with a Canada Hat.

Same as Australian Government, they are as tight as a fish's ar..e and that's watertight!

I am going to stock up on Oz caps before I come over next year.

Well seeing as every long nose is called "Joe" why not wear a T shirt with the slogan...My name is not Joe.

Just another point to check out, if travelling in an area considered unsafe, against Government advice, will that invalidate

your Travel insurance. :popcorn:

Just as well you left Dulaguete when you did Kev!  But like me, they would be wasting their time, they would not get much.
