Highway Robbery In North Luzon

Comment from a reader:

As a former American "expat" living in the Subic area. I stand in agreement with the author. I always felt comfortable and confideent with the service provided by the Victory Liner, and I'm sure its even better now than it was thirty years ago.

Piracy and banditry are to be found in all parts of the world, the Philippines being no exception. Naive are those who would suggest that Subic has a corner on the market.

I applaud the author of this letter for the suggestions he provides. I have many Expat friends living in the Subic area, most of whom are quite aware of the fact that they are "guests" of the nation. None wish to be identified with the "Ugly American" image, but none worthy of their salts are willing to divorce from their national pride and heritage. Much can be said of the FILNATS who reside in the United States, although the term "Expat" is not part of their lexicon.

[The Subic Bulletin] Based on reports, there has been 3 hold ups on Victory Liner in 30 years of operation, statistically you are safer in a Victory Liner than you are in your own home.
