Breaking NEWS: Foreigner Killed in ANGELES City Pampanga Philippines

Llang Llang street is a quiet street situated very close to the famous Clarkton Hotel in Angeles City, There are a number of Western style apartment blocks there with mainly couples and small families living there. Today a Foreigner (as they like to say) has been killed and shock horror his girlfriend has gone missing.

These incidents usually happen when there is a 3rd party close to the situation but who can tell until there has been a public announcement.

All I can advise to Western guys is to be very careful as Christmas is approaching and families need to buy presents and to appear wealthy usually beyond their means.
