Travel advise: Northern Mindenao -Ozamis City/Lanao Del Norte

6 years ago

Hi all

Question:
Is it safe for a foreigner to travel to Ozamis Occidental and onwards by Barge to Lanao del Norte heading down to Lala?

Reason I ask is that I will be in Cebu soon and my Phillipina partner expects me to go with her between Christmas and New Year to visit relatives etc. there.

My gut tells me to stay clear of that area, but my partner thinks it's quite safe. ( maybe for her but what about me?

Not sure if I should go, as the
Autralian Travel advise website is saying Do NOT Travel into those regions.
Quote " IF you choose to travel despite this advice, you should exercise extreme caution and seek independent, professional security advice which may include hiring personal protection." end quote"

How bad is it really?
I do know it is still under Marshal Law but my partner insists saying it is quite safe and many foreigner live there.

Can anyone help out with this?
