With around 600,000 Dominicans traveling abroad annually, a portion may find the Philippines an intriguing option.
The safety of the Philippines for tourists from the Dominican Republic can be assessed using various crime statistics. According to the Global Peace Index, the Philippines ranks 102nd out of 160 countries, while the Dominican Republic is ranked 95th, indicating that the Dominican Republic is considered slightly safer. In terms of murder rates, the Dominican Republic has a higher rate at 10.5 per 100,000 people compared to the Philippines' 4.4. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with the Dominican Republic at 2.6 and the Philippines at 0.8. The Global Organized Crime Index provides further insight, showing that the Philippines has higher scores in several categories, indicating more significant organized crime issues. For instance, mafia groups score 8.0 in the Philippines compared to 5.0 in the Dominican Republic, and state crime is rated at 8.0 in the Philippines versus 5.5 in the Dominican Republic. Overall, while both countries have their safety concerns, the Dominican Republic generally fares better in terms of crime statistics.
