Hi Romulin,
Glad you like the caves here. Feel free to PM me when you return. We may be of assistance. I'm a member of an active grotto in Manila and we've also part of the Philippine Speleological Society (hey, that sounds really familiar LOL
). The PSS has groups all over the country.
Anyway, sidestepping the religious references, I do agree with you. A huge percentage of karst areas here are safer than what the news would like you to believe. But I strongly urge anyone coming here for caving to get in touch with local caving groups for assistance. We do exist but caving in the Philippines is still a very obscure activity.
A lot of areas may be safer for foreigners than parts to the south but there are still the local communist rebels in the rest of the country to contend with and they might not like foreigners walking around their territory. Locals in the vicinity and cavers here can help negotiate for "safer" caving conditions :)
