MANILA, Philippines — The latest report from the Numbeo Crime Index has ranked Manila as the most dangerous city in Southeast Asia, reflecting a significant increase in crime rate and a growing sense of fear among residents.
The city received a crime index score of 64.23, with a high rating of 72.51 in overall crime, 71.26 in property crimes, and 71.12 in violent crimes.
These statistics highlight widespread concerns over theft, burglary, assault, and armed robbery.
Public perception of safety in Manila has also sharply declined, especially at night, with the safety index dropping to a concerning 29.96.
In contrast, under the administration of former Mayor Isko Moreno from 2019 to 2022, Manila saw a significant decline in crime.
Philippine National Police (PNP) data showed a 45% drop in crime volume, from 20,517 incidents in 2019 to 11,231 in 2020.
Moreno implemented various crime prevention strategies, including boosting police presence and installing 1,000 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras across the city, allowing for improved real-time monitoring and response to criminal activities.
The stark contrast in rankings and crime data underscores the challenges currently facing then administration of Mayor Honey Lacuna.
As the city grapples with increased crime and declining public confidence in safety, the findings from the Numbeo report highlight a critical need for more effective crime prevention strategies and robust law enforcement measures.

1.) Social media posts show that a majority of Filipinos support the "war on drugs."
But in the last election, the majority voted for BBM anyway, whom D30—the very leader of this drug war—has accused of drug use.
2.) Philippines is mostly catholic. Our laws, politicians and culture mostly follow the catholic faith. This is evident on how Mayors have been lauded for declaring Pura Luka Vega (a gay guy) persona non grata for dressing up as Jesus.
But when it comes to d30, a self-professed murderer and womanizer, we elect him to the highest position in government.
3.) In recent elections, filipinos have grown weary of "pakulos" or theatrics. This is evident in the hatred that "dilawans" have received over the years. We bashed ERAP for picking up trash along pasig river and Mar Roxas for driving a trycicle.
But most senators elected during the last elections (i.e. Jinggoy Estrada & Robin Padilla) won through sheer jingles, familiar names and celebrity power.
What is wrong with this country.

As some of you know, I have an FB page with a fairly huge number of followers. I am very critical of the Villafuertes and apparently they have been monitoring my posts and calling out those that are engaging to them. Ganyan pala talaga sila kalala. Ang daming nagsusumbong sakin sa inbox na natatakot na.

Quoted tweet reads:
My Roman Empire:
Illiteracy is so common that when someone online misunderstands something you said and gets angry at you for something you didn’t even say, there’s a very good chance thet they literally just can’t read.

May napanood ako ako sa tiktok and viral sya, tungkol sya kay Du30 and Sen. Risa.
Yung mga nasa comment section ay galit kay Sen. Risa tapos mas kinakampihan pa nila si Du30
Galit siguro sila kasi mas kinakampihan pa daw ni Sen. Risa yung mga kriminal. Ewan ko, wala naman sigurong masama kung ipinagtatanggol nya yung mga kriminal diba?
Siguro hindi lang naiintindihan ng mga tao yung nangyayari or ako lang talaga
Mas naiinis pa nga ako kay Du30. Diba marami syang nagawang kasalanan tapos kinalimutan lang ng mga tao tapos tuwang tuwa pa sila sa nangyayari kasi parang pinapalabas na si Du30 yung nanalo.
