I’ve been going to the Philippines for 25+ years and never had an incident. There are things you just don’t do though to keep yourself safe. Being tall and Caucasian we stand out and make ourselves a target. Be smart like and aware like you would in any major USA city and you’ll be fine.

Plenty to see. Puerto Princessa (caves/boating/snorkeling), Boracay (beach life/water activities), Baguio, Bohol (chocolate hills), Cebu.
