I’m an American going to the Philippines to live. Do you recommend that I get security bars on my house?

Absolutely, yes! Indeed, I don’t think I’ve seen a single home not having security bars. Also, you want plenty of security bars on your outside gates and front and back doors. And while you’re at it, have good mosquito screens installed. Make sure whoever is doing the security bar job for you that they know what they’re doing. And, make sure you have a fire exit on one or more of your windows. Many Filipino homes have bars but no exits. You find security bars on both poorer homes as well as wealthier homes. And after you install the bars don’t forget to install a couple of CCTV cameras and a recording device. Stay safe!
