MANILA, Philippines — Metro Manila tumbled eight notches in a global safe cities index as its ranking slid in almost all indicators, especially on personal and health security.

 

Based on the Safe Cities Index 2021 of UK-based The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the metropolis ranked 51st out of 60 cities, slipping eight notches from its 43rd ranking in 2019. The index is produced biennially.

 

From a perfect score of 100, Metro Manila scored 52.5 this year, a deterioration from the 59.2 two years ago. It also fell below the average of 66.1.
