When traveling abroad in the Philippines, the American Embassy can be a lifeline to home for American tourists. If you see something suspicious or encounter an obstacle or problem while traveling there, report it to the Embassy in Manila. Likewise, if you are a resident or national of the country, you may need to report complaints about American travelers or policies to the Embassy. Communication is the key to diplomatic problem-solving around the world.
