Safety in ZanorteFor the most part, Mindanao is a safe destination for your travel. There are some serious exceptions, though. Parts of Mindanao are extremely dangerous, while the majority of the island is such as Zanorte is fairly safe. One thing to remember is that in today's world, there is no place on the entire earth that is perfectly safe. No matter where you go you could be hit with crime, terrorism, natural disaster or some other calamity. This is true in Mindanao as well.
Some places in Mindanao are very dangerous and should be avoided by the average tourist. The United States and United Kingdom have issued travel advisories warning their citizens that travel to Mindanao is dangerous, and perhaps should be avoided altogether. Personally, I feel that in many ways these warnings are overblown, and were mostly issued by people who have never been to Mindanao, and also know little about the place. One needs to take great care for example in Zamboanga City and Basilan, Sulu, or even Cotabato City, I would have to exercise caution. or avoid those areas altogether. There are some places that just are not suitable for tourism. At this point in time, I would say that the entire ARMM (Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao) is in that category.
Dipolog city and Zanorte are safe but you need to use common sense, do not wear expensive jewelry or carry unnecessary cash, be observant when withdrawing cash from ATM's. Avoid driving at night time.
