They rate the UK also at level 2 !

What with the no go areas in certain cities with sharia law patrols the Philippines is much safer !

Just like every country follow the rules etc

Sadly yes and most likely a large amount… Taken from US taxpayers.

What rubbish.  I wonder what they would classify the US if they were handed the US's crime stats with all the location references blocked out, Level 1?

Somehow missed in this report is that there a lot of NPA in Bohol province. By that I mean Nice People Around.

 Gary is that a question or a statement? I believe most want to leave so to me, that really does say Something about the situation

I think what I should of said was "surely would want to leave. So I guess you could say I was asking a question but in the vein of "is the pop catholic" or " does a bear shit in the woods.
