Jollygoodfellow Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 I really do not know what this will mean. My wife is from Mindanao and if she should go back with my son to visit family is there more danger than before or should it be safer ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virginprune Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 Reading the article via the link, only specific areas are mentioned and only for a time limit of 60 days. In my part of Mindanao it is kick back and enjoy business as usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratefuled Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 It was just a matter of time before Martial Law was declared. Granted, only for a short period of time but nonetheless. It is to hopefully bring about more control of militant Muslim terrorists. Malawi is in the ARMM ( Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao). Not too far from Davao City where many foreigners visit and reside. So, anyone living here should take extra caution. The recent explosion set off by a suicide bomber in Manchester England is an example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are trying to keep them there.Tourism seems to be down to me and long time stayers also.There many apartments for rent around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
