It's corrupt, maybe sometimes regionalist (which I'm not sure I agree with) but not racist. Like someone is not treated differently because his skin is dark for example. They are generally not polite with anybody regardless of their "race".
- hutzlibu 5y agoWell yes, a police being unfriendly to anyone is probably better than a police being unfriendly only to certain skin colors or status. I remember travelling in Morocco (and also western sahara), where the police was very friendly with me. But I was a western tourist and the police was ordered by the king to be very friendly to tourists. From the locals I heard different stories.
- csomar 5y agoSame in Tunisia, and honestly I'm quite for it. In the Philippines, the police doesn't care about the tourists. The locals sees that and as a result tourists get mugged a "lot". I had my phone stolen and the police seemed to "enjoy it". A tourist is very unlikely to be mugged in Tunisia (comparing to a Tunisian person) because the police is more reactive when it comes to tourists. As a result you have a country of 11.5 million and 9.5 million tourists in 2019 despite all the crap that the country is going through.
- hutzlibu 5y agoSo do you think the police treats tourists worse in Philippines, or all equally bad? (except the local powerclique) In either way, I rather have a police treating all people with respect.
