If you think by wearing jewelry and expensive watches will get you admiration, it may, but it will surely attract the attention of undesirables. Thieves are always on the lookout for unsuspecting tourists. Be modest, it’s not to your advantage to show off. Do not underestimate criminals in the Philippines, most start as kids and work their way up. So always keep your eye on your belongings as well. Snatchers of bags, and pickpockets of wallets are especially numerous in crowded areas. Be mindful of your surroundings. Better safe than sorry.
