Dipolog house and lot for sale
Inter Island TravelIf you decide to buy a Dipolog house and lot, the chances are you will need to travel and there is a wide choice, Land, sea and air
Safety of Aircraft
Two main airlines serve Dipolog with daily flights to Manila Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific and can be regarded as safe.
Safety of Ships Another important thing to be concerned about it boat safety on the inter island boats. The Philippines is an Archipelago, and is serviced by ferries, some very modern ones, on group called Philippine Super Ferries. They look like ocean liners, have sleeping accommodations, nice meals, and private cabins at reasonable prices. Some are called Super Cats, very fast, just go for a couple of hours to the next island and give you time to watch a video movie, have a hot dog and cup of coffee from the snack bar while relaxing in air-conditioning. Some but some Philippine inter island boats look like they are going down for the third time. And they may be.
But there are many ferries that are not well maintained and overcrowded especially during holiday times, All Saint Day, Christmas, and other holidays not a popular. Tickets are hard to get at those times. And if you get one, you may not even have life jacket and be very uncomfortable and not be safe. But if you pick your time and your ship using a reputable travel agency and do so in advance, you should have a comfortable trip.
Roads The main Philippine high from Manila passes through Dipolog city, there are however a number of RoRo ferries in between Manila and Zamboanga. The roads are generally good but you have to watch out for the rural buses buses and Jeepneys which have a bad habit of stopping on blind corners. You also need to get used to the chicanes outside schools, so its best to travel at weekends.
There are isolated spots in the Mindaneao where there is some danger from terrorists, generally the Muslim areas where you will note an increased presence of both military and police road blocks. generally advice do not stop at unofficial road blocks. I rely on the British FCO for information and this is the latest news There is a threat from kidnapping in the Philippines, particularly in the southern Philippines. Kidnapping could occur anywhere, including on coastal and island resorts and dive boats and sites in the Sulu Sea. On 12 July two US citizens and a Philippine national were kidnapped from a resort on the island of Tictabon near the southern port city of Zamboanga.
