      You try keeping your eyes open when someone unexpectedly fires a gun next to your ear.

    Lots of violence in the Philippines involving guns. Seems pretty dangerous place.

        Also worth to note that a lot of people here have guns and a lot of them are even unlicensed. But we do not have mass shootings.

      Depends where you are; but in the right areas it definitely is. Certainly if you’d stand out as a tourist, a large part of the country isn’t really safe to head into alone.

      In tourist areas or the nicer parts of Manila, it’s quite reasonable.

      At least they are not used for mass killings.

      There are 1200 gun killings in 2019 which dropped significantly from 5000 in 2009.
