i think philippines is still safe even with the new president. he might be strict w peace and order which i think is good in generally for everybody even foreigners. He just likes to bust drug users but WG and the like is safe and still continues.
if your interested for a quick fix while in PI. if you have logistic like a car, its easy to just drop by a massagr parlor that do special service. there is alot actually in the quezon ave area. you can just choose a girl from an aquarium of girls then pay for room and tip the girl later. i think some of this places has better ladies than some escort service if you compare them.
most local does this route as it is easier for them in and out haha you can check out kremlin, wilderness, goodlife, sylvanus to mention afew. hope this help
