    travel advisory usually discourage foreigners in visiting mindanao generally speaking due to experiences before or years ago..but if you check out foreign vloggers such as BECOMING FILIPINO, BRET MAVERICK, FINN SNOW to name a few then i hope that it might change your mind or for other foreigners minds as well..
    there are parts in mindanao that is discourage for foreigners to visit but travel advisory just generalize mindanao as a whole..thanks for visiting the PHILIPPINES, hoping you might come back and have a change of heart about MINDANAO..

    Hi Christianne 😊 This is absolutely useful for those who are planning to visit The Amazing Philippines 🇵🇭 Thank You for visiting & showing our country to the world. We hope to see you back soon 😀 Mindanao is a huge Island & it's not as bad as how the news reports as I was born & raised there.. Siargao Island in Surigao where you went is actually in Mindanao, Davao City, Cagayan De Oro, & Gen. Santos City are safe to travel to. We have vloggers who choosed Cagayan as their home base like Becoming Filipino & Bret Maverick 😀

    • @BackpackingBananas
      @BackpackingBananas  Před 5 lety +2
