From The Star Online (Malaysia) (Oct 22): Where it’s not safe after dark
Cotabato City has been described as Philippines’ most dangerous city, what
with kidnappings, hold-ups, lootings and bombings. But the people here take
these in their stride, saying that crime can happen anywhere. THE best hotel in Cotabato City in Mindanao is Alnor Hotel. It is also the
safest hotel in the city, which is the most dangerous city in the
Philippines. “Where are you billeted?” is a popular question when I was in the city that a
former US ambassador to the Philippines insulted by calling the “doormat for
terrorists." “In Alnor,” I replied.,“You are safe,” a Mindanao politician told me. “Why?” I asked. “It is owned by the MILF,” he said.... [aticle has some interesting/enteraining observations on Cotabato City after dark]
