Dalamar, i used to live in Cebu, was pretty good there, the net was actually not so bad, workable, but quite noticeably slower than USA or Europe. But was always "good enough" for me As for crime, just keep safe with the general rules you would apply anywhere in the world, don't walk alone down dark alleys, anything seems sketchy then get away, and also if some deal(s) are too good to be true means it probably is!
