Philippines travel advisory for parts of the country
The UK FCDO advises against all travel to western and central Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago, and against all but essential travel to the rest of Mindanao. Typhoon season (June to November) may bring severe weather, and large-scale demonstrations are expected in Metro Manila and elsewhere.
