Manila is a hotspot for crime than other provinces since the city is over populated. I'm a local and I'm always wary of anything that could happen wherever I may be, if I bring my guard down even for awhile something bad WILL happen. Politicians and big companies don't care however many buildbuildbuildings there are. More police, yes, but accountability is non-existent for police.

I visited Malate, Manila yesterday, me and my mom didn't witnessed anything so I think the information is fake.

I will admit Manila has improved under the administration of duterte and mayor Isko moreno when it comes to cleaning the streets to look nice. But the crime and corruption has not changed, it’s the same as it was since 2016 the only thing that’s worse is Police are becoming more trigger happy and abusive, sort of reverting back to the Marcos era.

Manila is alittle bit different from years ago, but having manila under the administration of Duterte, its becoming dangerous with police giving more power to abuse its citizens

I have been travelling to the Philippines for more than 35 years.Never had a problem.I feel good walking around .Follow the normal commonsense and nothing will happen.

I’m afraid even to leave my bloody flat in fear of getting burgled in broad daylight. Bloody awful place. I don’t feel safe whenever and wherever I walk.

I was in Manila two weeks ago for a couple of days. Except for horrendous traffic, I didn't encounter anything bad. It is just weird to see security scanners in certain parts of a mall.
