Well the story is my wife of 21 years is of Philippine descent. We have never returned there, having married in nearby Hong Kong.
She is a bit apprehensive anyway. Her father was murdered on his front porch by the army (or the insurgents, who knows) 25 years ago. The local army took her when she was 13 on a truck to a remote spot to be raped, which was only avoided when a captain figured out what the troops were up to.
The deal is she has family there and they all say Calauag is completely safe, plenty of foreigners and business people. But I am afraid we will stand out. Yep I'm white and fair and my kids appear American although part filipino. Because her extended family will actually think our visit is a big deal I'm thinking everybody in town will know we are coming.
Ordinarily I would think nothing of it but I just can't see taking my wife and kids into any bad situation, no matter how small the chances were. Was just looking for any first hand observations of the Philippines these days. Its a family trip so it has nothing to do with porn.
