There continues to be an active Travel Warning for parts of the Philippines and, today, the U.S. Embassy in Manila issued a separate Security Message due to terrorist groups plotting kidnapping operations.

The U.S. Embassy has received credible information that terrorist groups may be planning to conduct kidnapping operations targeting foreign nationals in the areas of Palawan Province, Philippines, to include Puerto Princesa City, and the areas surrounding Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. U.S citizens are advised to carefully consider this information as they make their travel plans and to review personal security plans, avoid large crowds and gatherings, and remain vigilant at all times.
