The EU already exports over EUR 8 billion a year to the Philippines in machinery, transport equipment, medicines and agricultural goods; bilateral goods trade is nearly EUR 18 billion and services trade over EUR 10 billion. Negotiating teams are tasked with formally concluding the agreement in the coming months.

    Philippines - Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution

    The U.S. Department of State reissued its Philippines travel advisory after a periodic review with minor edits, keeping the country at Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution) due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, and kidnapping. The Sulu Archipelago (including the southern Sulu Sea) and Marawi City in Mindanao are Level 4 (Do Not Travel); other areas of Mindanao (except Davao City, Davao del Norte Province, Siargao Island, and the Dinagat Islands) are Level 3 (Reconsider Travel). Terrorists and armed groups have carried out kidnappings and bombings targeting tourist sites, markets, and local government facilities; protests can turn violent and cause traffic jams and road closures.
