United States issues travel warning for the Philippines

Posted on July 7, 2013 • Filed under: Philippines, Tourist Warning

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to the Philippines, in particular to the Sulu Archipelago and the island of Mindanao. This Travel Warning replaces the Travel Warning dated January 30, 2013, and reflects continuing threats in those areas due to terrorist and insurgent activities. U.S. citizens should continue to defer non-essential travel to the Sulu Archipelago, due to the high threat of kidnapping of international travelers and violence linked to insurgency and terrorism there.
