A better title might be would you let your daughter visit Manila.
Mr is off to Manila with work for six weeks later this year. Not a huge amount of time apart but I suggested I meet him in Singapore for a weekend. My Dad asked why not Manila? My stereotype of Manila is that it's unsafe. Smart Traveller says to exercise a high degree of caution. If I go to Manila we can do a more than a weekend together. I could even do Manila on a weekend, then Singapore then Manila the following weekend.
I have been to a few third world countries so I'm not naive. Just interested in general advice on Manila.
