Yes sometime I drink too much.

I spent a couple weeks recently in the Philippines and would definitely agree with the previous post about the media overblowing things. While discussing with locals the issue of safety and drug use I would say it's pretty comparable to any SEA country. Obviously avoid drugs or doing them publicly or obtaining from non trusted sources but I felt very safe during my time. I am also American and would say it would be a mistake to not visit the Philippines .
