Another foreigner has been shot and killed in a robbery, this time in General Santos City. In the Philippines, no one is exempt.

It looks like both suspects have already been caught. I couldn't share it, though — why is it so hard to get to a proper news site without going through Facebook??

When is the US State Department going to raise the Philippines to Level 3?

Suspicious circumstances of the incident

It seems suspicious that an 81-year-old man chased after a robber on a scooter, but I guess they'll use that as an excuse.

So Thailand and Vietnam really are better, everyone.

Coping Methods

Some older people are incredibly stubborn about handing over their belongings. I've seen videos where this kind of situation ends really badly. Never resist, because that's how you might save your life. There are cases where people die even when they hand things over, but it seems like most of the injuries and deaths happen when people resist.
