I have been to Butuan City a time or two. Its always been peaceful there. At one time Davao City was the most dangerous City in the Philippines. Along came Duterte, and others, who kicked rears and took names. Now, its really peaceful and safe. 👍
My ex’s-family are from Victory, a small village north of Cabadbaran which is north of Butuan about 30-40 minutes.
The two girl cousins I mentioned in my last are also cousins of my ex. I'm very close with the airline girl. She was Miss Cabadbaran of 2012.
