LET’S TALK ABOUT THE DANGERS OF QUIAPO MANILA FOR FOREIGNERS

Dear Diary – I went walking around Quiapo Manila today. This is the dirtiest and most dangerous part of Manila where you will find no traces of foreigners at all. It’s full of little shops laden with scammers, a black market for guns, false IDs, diplomas for everything you can imagine, and replicas of police uniforms.

I recommend NOT looking for girls there as it’s really dangerous because there might be some guys following you. They are in fact for Filipino use only. However, you can find cheap things there to buy. Just DO NOT go to Quiapo Manila alone. The safest way is to have a Filipino friend go with you. Don’t eat anything there. Don’t use or go to any short time hotels and watch out for your things. You’ve been warned! Take my advice!
