    I can assure you this. If you are expecting the PNP to protect you and your family you will get screwed. They will not put their lives in danger to protect a foreigner. I have witnessed this first hand and even made a formal complaint at the regional PNP office. They called the offending PNP officers in for a face to face conference with me and their superiors. Their reasoning was that there were too many people for them to handle so they could only watch as the drunken MOB tried to break down my security gate while throwing stones at me and my wife as we struggled to push back against our gate. They watch as me and my wife were assaulted by 10 people because we complained about a out of control Fireworks and Videoke party next to our house. That lame excuse was good enough for the PNP superiors.

    They tell the US military to p*ss off. A few months later these turds are operating in territory they never had before. I know correlation does not imply causation but...I believe if things continue on at the current pace I won't be needing to go to the ME or SWA for good paying contracts.

    Apparently the Drug lords and the terrorist are joining forces to stay in business. Leaving the drug trades in favor of domestic kidnapping. Since Norway recently paid very large ransom fro one its citizens who was recently kidnapped. Duterte is making it clear he is not a fan of foreigners so the assumption is he will not put as much effort into fighting this type of crime.

    Not sure of any of you swim at the public pool in Dumaguete,I think somewhere at back of daro. A friend of mine who has just arrived back from the uk who swims every day has been told the pool is out of use as the ph military is camped out there and has been for a while,he was told by one of the workers there that they are there due to a threat from asg. Is there something local government is not telling us?
