The StreetWise Guide To Personal Safety
How Safe Is It In The Philippines?
What Are The Risks You Face To Travel Or Live There?
What Are The Top Five Most Likely Causes Of Harm To Foreigners?
From Perry Gamsby January 2009
Friends!
There are no guarantees in life, we all know that. Most of us also don’t mind taking the odd calculated risk if the rewards are worth it. So how do we give ourselves the best fighting chance of getting the most out of our time in the Philippines?
As I write this I am saddened to read of the brutal murder of a long term expat Australian businessman in Manila this week (Jan 6th 2009). He had lived here safely for twelve years but just a few nights ago he was stabbed over twenty times by home invaders and robbed of cash and jewelry. A poignant reminder that all of us can benefit from the pooled experiences and wisdom this Survival handbook contains.
StreetWise Publications’
“THE PHILIPPINES SURVIVAL HANDBOOK!”
will tell you what you need to know!
 How To Avoid All The Usual Risks Faced By Expats!
How To Pick A Safe Jeepney From A Deathtrap!
How To Get Out Of Town In A Hurry! (You Never Know When This Might Save Your Life!)
How To Spot If You Are Being Set Up Or Scammed!
And So Much More!
This is not a self defense manual or a collection of travel tips. This is a serious document;
an intelligence report for anyone who needs to know what risks
and threats may be waiting for them in a foreign country.
Let’s face it, most of us have traveled the world and many had nothing worse happen than a rip off taxi ride from the airport or maybe a pickpocket getting rich from our loose change. That doesn’t mean worse things can’t happen or won’t happen and once you leave your home, you can be a long way from help of any kind!
FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED
Do you know?
The four steps to getting mugged and how to spot it BEFORE it happens?
What to do if you contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease?
How many venomous snakes, spiders and fish there are and what to do if invenomated?
How to handle a corrupt official who wants a bribe, or your butt in a jail cell?
This Survival Handbook tells you all of this and far much more. It draws upon the experiences
of numerous long time expats who know the Philippines inside out and back to front. If it hasn’t
happened to them then it has happened to someone they know personally!
MAKE THEIR KNOWLEDGE YOUR WISDOM!
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just model successful behaviour. Every self help book on the market says that in some form or other and it is valid advice. This is especially applicable to personal protection! This Survival Handbook takes a HOLISTIC approach and looks at your safety and survival from all angles and against all areas of threat.
Most books give the same old tired warnings about not leaving your luggage unattended and not accepting drinks from strangers...YAWN!
This Survival Handbook tells you all of that and far, far more! Ever read a travel guide book that tells you how to deal with a pregnant bargirl? How about a shotgun wedding when the father of the bride to be has a real shotgun?
How much should you pay when asked for a bribe?
Should you actually pay them or walk off indignantly and hope they don’t arrest you and up the ‘fine’?
What about if you are caught in the crossfire of a gunfight?
Or kidnapped and held to ransom?
This Survival Handbook puts all of that into proper perspective based on sound advice and proven tactics collated from several experienced expats as well as the author, Perry Gamsby.

“Perry,
Thanks again for allowing me to get an early look at your latest book.
Although I feel that this book is an invaluable resource for any 1st time visitor to the Philippines, I'm sure that even the most avid traveler will find something of value. I plan to recommend it to any friends or family before they come for a visit.
There are details, specific to the Philippines, that are quite valuable to know before arriving! I especially enjoyed the section about LHBG's lol!
During my 1st trip, I thought my wife (then gf) was just over-protective, but I now understand that, in her mind, my well-being was her responsibility. I now depend on her judgment a great deal whenever we go anywhere. I'm sure she has kept me from alot of grief!
As far as criticism, I would only say that there are some type-o's here and there. You make no secret of the fact that much of it is common sense to the reasonably mature reader. Who knows, this book might save somebody's life!
best regards,
jim

Or how about this:
Perry,
Once again you have done all of us a great service with this new book. Thanks for including my contributions and changing the name as I asked. Since I still live here I have to be a little circumspect about these things. The book is great, it covers a lot of stuff expats need to know but where are you going to get it without coming here and risking making the mistakes? Adios, Craig E.
and this:
Another great book Perry. You cover all possibilities. It’s not only good for the first timer but has information in there which an experienced expat like me can make good use of. I have been thinking a lot about some of the things I read and have already started to change the way I deal with the locals. It seems to work better.
For Newbies the book has the basics that will give them confidence and help them keep out of trouble on their first trip and later they will get more and more out of the book as their knowledge increases.
