If you claim that a place has the second lowest crime rate, you're ignoring the fact that many crimes go unreported. For example, tourists often experience extortion from taxi drivers after arriving at the airport but choose not to report these incidents out of fear for their safety. Thus, basing the crime rate solely on reported cases presents a skewed perspective. It's like cleaning only the surface, leaving the real issue unaddressed.

[@srebaayao9616]

magpakatotoo na lang tau. dami pang mas nakakatakot na bansa o capital cities bukod sa atin. ang OA nman ng survey na yan. no.5 talaga? maka overreact naman mga pinoy parang totoo na tlaga. manila is relatively safe. ano ba agenda nila? wag pumunta mga turista sa pinas?

[@deejay6016]

@ZebbSky-u6x - your comment makes no sense. Irrespective of what is being measured (petty crimes, violent crimes, property crimes, unemployment, mortality, census, etc), if they are not reported, there is no way to rate/measure it.

[@effu9375]

COME TO USA.... you will find out what CRIME is like. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE....it's all over news everyday 24/7. Especially if you're ASIAN, you will get mugged or have your luggage stolen or pushed in front of a moving train....we're a TARGETED minority.

It's a matter of semantics. Internationally 'Manila' equates to the whole Metropolis, while Manila the capital city is a small part of that (e.g. this technically excludes the airport).

i was in manila last year. i took a cab from the airport and the driver is asking me 3500 pesos for a 12 miles distance. so i ask him don’t you have meter? i prefer to use the meter please. he insisted not to use the meter and he is very firm about the price. so i said just drop me off but he kept driving until we are far enough away from the airport and lowered the price to 3300 pesos. i said no and he dropped me off in the middle of a bridge with two large suitcases. i kept walking probably 1hr and half until i saw a police or maybe a traffic aid im not sure. then i ask for their help. i told them what happened and they helped me to get a cab so i could get to my hotel. the total cab price was 387pesos but i gave him 1000 pesos.

Same, now I just use grab or Book Joyride from the airport. I will go out of the way to not use the airport taxis.

Sad but true. As a Filipino I have to admit that even I don't feel safe in Manila or most other parts of Metro Manila for that matter. And those children that the big group of tourists referred to, why doesn't the city or national govt do something about them? There's also a need to increase police visibility and engage local volunteers perhaps. There must be a way. Many comments here make a lot of sense, like in that suggestion that the mayor or any relevant city official roam around incognito. Only then will they probably see and grasp the seriousness of the problem. It could also be that they already knew but they were just turning a blind eye.

Eto ang mga problema ng pinas kaya konti lang ang mga foreign tourists at hindi sila nagtatagal sa ating bansa: 1. Corruption everywhere. RED TAPE in govt. 2. Very very very very few modern infrastructures. 3. Wala tayong modernong transportation at airport 4. Mahina or walang internet 5. Nawawalan ng kuryente (brownout) 5. Mahina or nawawalan or walang tubig 6. Nakawan at kikilan sa NAIA airport 7. EXPENSIVE accomodations 8. Maraming patayan, kriminal, nakawan, mandurukot, snatchers, kidnappers , drug addicts at mga pushers 9. Mga ganid na taxi at tricycle drivers over-charging/scamming foreign tourists 10. Mga basura or litters sa kalye at mga bangketa. Mga pinoy wala talagang disiplina. Kahit saan tayo nagtatapon ng mga basura/ litters natin. 11. Pati sa mga beach, dagat, gubat at bundok may mga basura din..mga plastic bottles, plastik supot, wrappers at kung ano ano pang mga litter/garbage. 12. Mga illegal vendors sa kalsada/bangketa, may vendor din sa gitna ng badian canyon, panglao sandbar at mga bangkang vendor sa dagat ng el nido at coron. Kaya madumi at maraming mga basura sa ating mga kapaligiran at kalikasan. MAGTINDA KAYO SA TAMANG LUGAR. 13. Illegal squatters, street dwellers and beggars everywhere, particularly children asking money from foreigners. Tapos sasabihin natin "Its more fun in the Phlippines" ??? Nakakahiya ! Tourism will boost our local economy kasi foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local business to earn more. The local and national government MUST do something to solve/fix these problems.

The Manila Mayor was trying to divert the issue to 453 year old age of Manila and her benchmark was based locally, instead of global competitiveness of Manila in terms of public safety. I don’t think that she’s doing her jobs well.

[@mintsnake]

I’ve been to Cinque Terre, Barcelona, and Paris, and have been robbed in the first two, and Paris we experienced an attempt. I’ve also heard from locals how they can’t even leave anything in their cars because it’s so likely that their cars will be broken into, both in the city and in gas stations. I really feel much safer in the Philippines/Manila. Sure, I’m not a tourist here, but of the many tourist friends I’ve had, i can count on one hand those that have had bad experiences.

We've been in Tondo, Divisorya and a lot of slums, and we've never been affected with any kind of crime. I suggest the report's authors to go to visit some southern italian cities or some latinos towns, i'm sure their perceivings will change immediately

And unfortunately, majority of foreign tourists still think Manila City is an essential destination when visiting the Philippines.

What about San Francisco is that city not one of the riskiest cities in the world? Los Angeles? New York? Seattle? et. etc. etc. Look, San Francisco's many tourists spots and department stores (even newly opened malls) are close. Many big business are closed because of so many homeless, shoplifting, defecating anywhere. The Fisherman's wharf was popular with tourist from all around the world long time ago, I've heard it's been closed for good. Also the subway underground transportation is dangerous because there are people loitering around with mental illness. How did they go through to get to the subway down without a ticket for your ride? Three weeks ago, a 74 year old Pilipina waiting for her train was pushed to an incoming train by a mentally ill man and she collided with the train head on. The victim died before reaching the nearest emergency hospital in the Bay Area. So there you are people. Which is the riskiest in the world? Los Angeles also is another big city that is about to follow San Francisco, same with New York City. Kensington, Pennsylvania, where you see addicts walking like zombies. San Francisco is almost like a ghost town now a days. My husband and I have lived there in the 90's. It was a bustling and vibrant city with full of energy. We didn't see any homeless at all.
