Safety Notice

Travellers must exercise precaution when travelling to the island of Mindanao and Davao City, and many governments (UK, US, Australian and other) currently advise against travel to the area altogether. Bomb blasts occurred in Davao in 2013 and 2015, and the city has been on high terrorist attack alert for an extended period of time. Foreigners are known to have been targeted and in September 2015, three foreign nationals were kidnapped by gunmen from a terrorist organisation. Contact your local embassy for more information prior to travel.
