Benington Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 If a certain President elect gets to know about this map HMG might be the next to get a verbal lashing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, especially since it shows Davao as essential travel only and that PE prides himself on how 'safe' it is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benington Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Singling out Mindanao on a map could mislead someone in Britain who for whatever reason doesn't bother looking for the more detailed travel advice which I am sure is available from the British Embassy here or elsewhere. From my own fairly limited knowledge of the country I could mention parts of the Mountain, Quezon and Bicol Provinces for starters. where one would need to think twice about being in or traveling through. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSwede Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Foreign offices do not post detailed general advice, which I respect entirely. But that map there is simply rude... Benington got my vote on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Peterson Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Damned if they do, Damned if they Don't. I guess if and when it happens (kidnap) people will wonder why they are told We warned you and are reluctant to help. I was merely posting what was sent to me by my particular Embassy but most are saying the same so they are all wrong EH? Not much I can say as a lot seem to do just this So I will not bother anymore Except we all seem to be Bothered about things that don't concern us yet pay no attention to things that Could.
