DAVAO CITY – The move to lower travel advisory levels for some parts of Mindanao by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan reflects the island’s improved peace and security situation.
“Foreigners could travel now with precautionary reminders that would lead to more economic investments in places already declared Level 1 compared to the previous,” he said. Japanese travelers are advised to “take extra care” when traveling to areas placed under Level 1, refrain from traveling to areas under Level 2 “if non-essential and non-urgent,” and refrain from traveling at “any time” to areas under Level 3.
Areas that remain under Level 3 are Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Sibugay in Zamboanga Peninsula; Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental in Northern Mindanao; Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and Sarangani West Side #2 in Soccsksargen; Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Cotabato City, Maguindanao del Sur, Basilan, and Tawi-Tawi in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ; and Sulu, which has just been declared to be no longer part of BARMM.
“The information about these places is limited. We have to inform regularly the diplomatic community and the rest of the world that Mindanao is safe,” he said.
