The Republic of the Philippines is located in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean and is an archipelago of 7,107 islands between the Philippines Sea and the South China Sea. The population of the country is about 93 million people. In addition to the official languages, many recognized regional languages are also spoken.
The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and head of government elected by popular vote. Since independence was recognized in 1946, the Philippines has often had turbulent experience with democracy. The government today faces challenges such as threats from several terrorist groups in the country.
Because the Philippines is located on the volcanic Pacific Ring of Fire, the area is prone to earthquakes, has 20 active volcanoes, and its tropical climate makes it vulnerable to typhoons. The Philippines has many natural resources and very rich biodiversity. The Philippines has some of the world’s best diving and spectacular snorkeling. Tropical beaches can be found on almost anyone of the islands. Also, medical tourism is on the rise since prices can be as much as 80 percent less than abroad.

對於一些旅行者

These risk factors include: aid workers; those going to areas of cholera outbreaks who have limited access to potable water and medical care; travellers for whom the vaccination would be considered potentially beneficial, such as chronic medical conditions.
日本腦炎疫苗
The vaccination is recommended for long-term travellers (i.e. trips lasting a month or more) to endemic areas during Japanese encephalitis virus transmission season. Consider the vaccination for the following groups: Short-term (<1 month) travellers to endemic areas during Japanese encephalitis virus transmission season if their itinerary or activities will increase their risk (e.g. spending substantial time outdoors in rural or agricultural areas; staying in accommodations without air conditioning, screens, or bed nets.); travellers to an area with an ongoing outbreak of Japanese encephalitis; travellers to endemic areas who are uncertain of specific activities or duration of travel.
麻疹,腮腺炎,風疹(MMR)疫苗

Philippines中的安全性
人身安全
菲律賓的犯罪率呈下降趨勢。官方數據顯示,2022年7月至2024年10月期間,犯罪率下降了61.87%。 2024年,重點犯罪案件數量從2023年的41,717起下降至38,667起。儘管有所改善,但城市地區的人身安全問題仍然存在。 2023年,馬尼拉的犯罪指數為65.4。在繁忙地區、大眾運輸和旅遊景點,小偷小摸、扒手和街頭犯罪依然猖獗。吉普尼和巴士上武裝搶劫事件時有發生,尤其是在馬尼拉和其他大城市,一些事件已造成人員死亡。計程車司機及其同夥實施的計程車詐騙和搶劫案時有發生。綁架事件在全國各地都有發生,包括馬尼拉大都會地區。雖然大多數綁架事件是出於經濟動機,目標是所謂的富人,但棉蘭老島的綁架威脅程度更高。整體安全環境持續改善,但各地區安全情勢仍不均衡。
極端暴力
恐怖主義仍然是主要在菲律賓南部地區的重大問題。該國在 2023 年全球恐怖主義指數的受恐怖主義影響最嚴重的國家名單中排名第 18 位。 2023 年發生了 95 起恐怖攻擊,造成 299 人死亡。菲律賓共產黨和新人民軍在此期間發動的攻擊最多。包括阿布沙耶夫、邦薩摩洛伊斯蘭自由戰士和伊斯蘭國分支在內的恐怖組織主要在棉蘭老島、蘇祿群島和三寶顏半島活動。 2023 年 12 月在馬拉威市發生的恐怖攻擊造成 4 人死亡,多人受傷。自 2000 年以來,發生了 40 多起針對平民區的重大爆炸事件,主要發生在南部地區,但由於馬尼拉大都會的政治重要性,襲擊也發生在該地。綁架勒索事件集中在棉蘭老島西部和蘇祿群島,目標既包括當地人,也包括外國人。 2024年10月,一名美國人在北三寶顏省被綁架。恐怖分子和武裝團體歷來針對外國人、平民和安全部隊實施綁架、爆炸和其他攻擊。綁架事件在菲律賓全國都有發生,但南部地區,尤其是海盜和綁架活動頻繁的蘇祿群島,威脅最嚴重。
政治動盪
政治抗議和示威活動頻繁,尤其是在馬尼拉。 2025 年 9 月,馬尼拉大都會和其他城市爆發了大規模反腐敗抗議活動,超過 10 萬人參與,抗議價值超過 5,450 億披索的防洪工程存在腐敗指控。警方與蒙面抗議者發生衝突,200 多人被捕。抗議者向防暴警察投擲石塊並縱火焚燒路障,引發零星暴力事件。 2025 年 1 月,基督堂舉行了全國和平集會,約有 150 萬人參加在基里諾看台舉行的集會。示威活動會擾亂交通和其他基本服務。抗議活動有時會在沒有任何警告的情況下演變成暴力事件,尤其是當團體試圖向馬拉卡南宮遊行時。安全部隊和示威者之間可能會發生衝突,尤其是在棉蘭老島和呂宋島北部偏遠地區。菲律賓法律禁止外國人參與政治活動,參與示威活動可能導致拘留或驅逐出境。即使是和平示威也可能迅速升級。抗議活動和大型集會期間,可能會發生恐怖攻擊。
應避免的區域
應避免前往西棉蘭老島和中棉蘭老島、蘇祿群島和馬拉維市。由於恐怖主義、綁架以及安全部隊與叛亂組織之間的武裝衝突,多國政府建議不要前往這些地區。蘇祿群島和蘇祿海南部地區面臨極高的恐怖主義和綁架威脅,恐怖分子和武裝組織除了製造爆炸事件外,還歷來在陸地和海上進行綁架勒索贖金。馬拉威市面臨恐怖組織殘餘勢力與菲律賓安全部隊之間持續不斷的衝突。平民在這些地區面臨死亡或受傷的危險。三寶顏半島被認為特別危險。除達沃市、北達沃省、錫亞高島和迪納加特群島外,棉蘭老島的其餘地區風險較高。中棉蘭老島和西棉蘭老島曾發生綁架事件,受害者有時被關押數年。菲律賓南部,尤其是蘇祿群島,海盜威脅很高。蘇祿海南部是全球海盜和綁架事件的熱點之一,海盜團夥經常襲擊和劫持商船和遊船,而這些海盜團夥往往與伊斯蘭極端組織有關聯。就連以潛水聞名的聯合國教科文組織世界遺產圖巴塔哈群礁海洋公園也位於這片危險區域的中心。這些地區的緊急救援服務極為有限,外國政府也無法提供足夠的領事援助。
