UK govt to revisit travel advisory against Mindanao

THE British government may review its travel warnings against certain conflict-stricken areas in Mindanao (south of Manila) once the peace agreement between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is signed.

Thomas Phipps, the British Embassy in Manila's second secretary for security, told reporters in a press briefing that they are looking at reviewing the travel advisories in Mindanao where there is a standing warning of "all but essential travel" and "all travels."
