Amid a deteriorating public security environment in the Philippines, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in the country have issued a safety advisory urging Chinese nationals to enhance personal security precautions and remain alert to evolving risks.

In recent weeks, the Philippines has witnessed a surge in public demonstrations, political rallies, and a notable increase in incidents involving law enforcement inspections and harassment targeting Chinese citizens and businesses. These developments have significantly heightened security risks for Chinese nationals and institutions operating in the country.

Chinese citizens currently in the Philippines are advised to stay informed of the local security situation, strengthen personal safety awareness and emergency preparedness, limit non-essential travel, and avoid areas with large gatherings or political activities. Individuals are also reminded to strictly comply with local laws and regulations and remain vigilant against potential scams or security traps.

Those planning to travel to the Philippines are urged to carefully assess the risks and exercise heightened caution when making travel decisions. In case of emergencies, Chinese nationals should promptly contact local police and reach out to the nearest Chinese diplomatic or consular mission for assistance.
