Some countries advise against all travel to Western and Central Mindanao, including the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, due to the serious threat of terrorist attacks, kidnapping, crime, and armed conflict between security forces and terrorist or rebel groups. Avoid unnecessary travel to Eastern Mindanao. Eastern Mindanao is relatively more stable than Western Mindanao. Militant groups seeking random have reduced kidnappings in recent years, however, they still occur.
