Is Metro Manila safe for women?

Metro Manila is moderately safe. You have to be careful with snatchers. And don’t usually walk alone late at night, especially in provinces. Always share your location with a family member for safety precautions.

Manila is like NYC, where the hussle and bustle are a norm. Fairly safe, just need to be always aware of your surroundings cos there are still bad people everywhere. Overall, Manila is safe and convenient in terms of food, transport and actually a lot of things to offer.

Metro Manila I would say is generally safe, but crime rates depend a lot on location. BGC and Makati CBD are very safe while I wouldn’t walk alone at night in places like Tondo, Quiapo, etc. In any case, stick to ares that don’t seem sketchy and always trust your gut.

About me

Hi! I’m a 25F solo traveler from the Philippines 🌴✈️ I love exploring beaches, islands, local food, and experiencing different cultures. I’m usually the planner of the trip but always open to spontaneous adventures! 😄 Looking to meet fellow female travelers, share experiences, join tours, and hopefully make some new travel friends along the way💕🌊
