Home is Cebu City, is that right Don? If I were there I'd head to your basic low-end beach resort for the week. That's not a high value target for any of those groups.

Thanks Jim, but I am a home-body, and I do not mind staying at home. Any form of transportation, and any place with many people or with foreigners can be a target, so I am just going to lay low and have a relaxing week.
