Safety Travel Tips in Cebu
Cebu has always
been known for wonderful things such as the tropical climate, superb dishes and
its popularity on English Language courses.
We have here these useful tips and information to
help you.
· Going around Cebu by Taxi
Taxi is one of Cebu’s
main modes for transport. Recently, there have been a lot of tourist who’ve
been in Cebu, whose native tongues are not English and there are times that
they are easily deceived with fare or cases of not switching the taxi meter
on. It has a policy for taxis to switch
the meters on when in used.
Generally, some drivers
prefer not to use the taxi meter. If this can be happen find another taxi.
- Don’t show your valuables when in public places
We strongly advice that
cellphones and smartphones, or other valuables should be kept hidden. These
become targets for stealing so it’s better to be more cautious, and possibly
can lead to death. However, inside mall and you think you’re safe. If by any
chance, someone is calling you or sending you a text much better to attend it
later or take call inside the safe premises.
- Not safe in walking streets of Colon alone
Colon is known as a
very crowded street and a lot of different people especially from the
lower-class fill the street. The street is also crowded with vendors that
selling on cart with different items. The good part of Colon is you can find a
lot of things in a cheapest price. For example, you can buy a brand new pair of
jeans for 150 pesos only. If you plan to visit this very busy street it is best
to be with a local or come in groups.
- Careful that deals with money
Filipinos known for
being hospitable. The moment you meet a Filipino, they instantly become a
friend! Without knowing more, even share about personal life. But even though
you’ve feel good to meet that person always remember that when it comes to
money matters we should always be extra careful and evaluate our friends. This
is a general rule of life.
Actually there are a lot of things to know when
travelling to new places. But nevertheless, the main objective of coming in
Cebu is about to enjoy and have fun inspite of these precautions. But hopefully
this safety measure that we’ve shared will also become a lot of handy for you
to enjoy a lot! J
