Mongering is always dangerous but that is part of the excitement. So watch your valuables and never go there too drunk and watch your back!!
TrickyD7 is right. I remember walking down a dark street, between bars in Angeles City PI, when 2 guys stopped me. One put a knife to my throat while the other went through my
pockets. They took my cheap watch and a few hundred Peso from my wallet. I asked for the wallet back 'cause it was good Thailand snake skin. Afterwards, I walked inrto the next
bar, took more cash out of my shoe, and carried on with my night. No problem
PS - most of you guys won't know Angeles City - used to be a good mongering place in the Philippines. Not as good as Manila though
