Is Palawan is safe for tourists now? heard there were a group of tourists held captive by guerillas....
I went there this year. Had a great time. No hint of trouble. Suppose it depends where abouts you go... It's a bit like asking "Is Africa safe?" :o If you stick to the tourist areas I'm sure you'll be fine, if you go off the beaten track then you are venturing into the unknown, which is not necessarily a bad thing either.
