A bit off topic but: When I first came to the Philippines I was in the military and recall being warned to not take or wear any military uniform while in the Philippines. I think I was told it was because wearing any type of military uniform was illegal in the Philippines unless you were actually in the Philippine military.
Should see Angeles City then. They have real Korean police working hand in hand with the local PNP. They even have their own Korean outposts and vehicles. Poll Preview Tourist Assistance Center at the opening of Friendship Hi-way to Korean town, including Fil-Kor Auxilliary Tourist Police, the first such auxilliary force dedicated to a community of foreign nationals in Angeles City Koreans in the Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Elsewhere in Luzon According to MOFAT statistics, there are 18,394 Koreans living in other parts of Luzon, primarily Angeles, (9,652 people) and Cavite (5,000 people).[1] Koreans also have a presence near the economic freezones like Clark and Subic.[7] Between Porac and Angeles (where Clark is located) numerous residential subdivisions have come to be dominated by Korean nationals.[37] In 2011, Koreans in Angeles held a Kor-Phil Cultural Exchange Hanmadang Festival at Bayanihan Park.[38] The Hanjin Group has a US$1 billion shipbuilding project at Subic which was estimated to comprise almost a third of total South Korean FDI in the Philippines in 2007 and was at the time the world's fourth largest shipyard.[14] Hanjin have been praised by the government for their generation of employment. In 2012 and 2013 they are expected to add another 5,000 jobs to their workforce.[39] However, their investments have provoked environmental controversy, especially with their building of a US$20 million condominium complex for their managers in the Subic Watershed Forest Reserve, the home of the Aeta peoples.[40] Korean investors are also building a $20 million industrial and tourism complex in Pangasinan comprising a fish farm, solar and wind power generation facilities, seaplane berths, and a monorail.[41] There is also minor Korean activity on the northern Luzon coast. As early as 2005, a group of South Korean investors began setting up a golf academy at Suba, Paoay, Ilocos Norte.[42] In 2007, the Real Enterprise Group, a South Korean hotel and casino operator, were reportedly interested in investing in tourism facilities in the province, especially beach resorts at Pagudpud and Paoay.[43] The Korean investors are interested in support facilities such as spas, night clubs, and golf courses. The Laoag government also aimed to get direct flights between Korea and Laoag, so that tourists would not have to waste time flying south to Manila and then catch a connecting flight back north.[44] There had been plans for the Korea Overseas Grain Investment and Development Company (Kogid) to invest $12 million in a 10,000-hectare maize plantation in Mallig, Isabela, but the plans were put on hold over a dispute on value added tax exemption.[45] There are also known to be some North Korean migrant workers who have been admitted to the Philippines as laborers in the area.[8] A public controversy around this erupted in January 2010, when a North Korean ship carrying 2,800 metric tons of magnetite ran aground near Claveria, Cagayan on New Year's Day.[46] There were claims that the magnetite had been illegally mined in violation of a provincial ban, but others claimed that the quantity in question was just a "sample" and came from a pre-existing stockpile.[47] Some reports claimed that the ship also carried marijuana and shabu, but an immigration officer was quoted as stating the materials in question were just butter and tea.[48][49]
