We’ve reviewed our advice for the Philippines and continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution. Higher levels apply in Mindanao. Terrorist attacks could occur anywhere in the Philippines. Possible targets include aviation and airports, public transport, hotels, shopping malls, restaurants, major events, places of worship and tourist areas (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in the Philippines overall due to the threat of terrorism and violent crime.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
