A short public announcement from yours truly, a concerned citizen. There's a foreigner who identified himself as Thai, roaming around Washington Sycip Park & immediate area in Makati Philippines , asking for a fare to Tagaytay .

He's suspicious because after I gently apologized that I can't help & I was about to suggest to go to the Thailand embassy, he quickly left. I already reported it to the security in the area.

If there are foreigners stranded for whatever reason, direct them to their embassy or the local authorities. Don't give them money, & don't go with them if they keep on walking. Also look around you.

It's fine to assist foreigners, but don't forget your own safety & security. Not because we're in our own land does it mean we have the advantage.
