We want all delegates attending Peering Asia 7.0 in Manila to feel safe and at ease. Bonifacio Global City (BGC), where the event will be held, is a secure and modern district with 24\/7 patrols, advanced surveillance, and a strong community safety culture. It is widely regarded as one of the safest areas in Metro Manila.
That said, as with any international trip, a few simple precautions will help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Safety Guidelines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Stick to trusted areas<\/strong>: BGC is pedestrian-friendly and well-lit. If you wish to explore beyond BGC, especially in the evening, we recommend doing so with local colleagues or guides rather than going alone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stay connected<\/strong>: Always let a peer or colleague know your whereabouts and expected return time when going out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Be mindful at night<\/strong>: Avoid unlit or unfamiliar areas after dark and use registered taxis or ride-hailing apps when traveling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Keep valuables secure<\/strong>: As in any city, stay alert in areas and take care of personal belongings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Respect local rules and regulations<\/strong>: Photography near banks, embassies, and schools is restricted. Drones require special permits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    BGC’s Comprehensive Security Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The area’s overall security is managed by the Bonifacio Global City Estate Association (BGCEA) and supported by technology. Key features include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Advanced Surveillance:<\/strong> The Bonifacio Global City Estate Association (BGCEA) uses Huawei’s “Safe City” solution, which includes a comprehensive network of high-definition, intelligent IP cameras with video analytics for 24\/7 monitoring. This surveillance helps deter crime and manage traffic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Centralized Command Center<\/strong>: The camera network is connected to a central command center, which allows local law enforcement and security teams to effectively monitor the entire area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 24\/7 Security Patrols<\/strong>: In addition to police, BGC has its own security personnel who conduct round-the-clock patrols, both on foot and on motorcycles, to ensure a constant security presence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Private Property Security:<\/strong> As a private township, BGC has more control over its security infrastructure than standard public areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Emergency Response:<\/strong> The security system is integrated with rapid emergency response capabilities for swift action during incidents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Flood control<\/strong>: A key feature of BGC’s city planning is its extensive flood control system, which prevents major flooding during heavy rains. The district’s largest floodwater tank is located under Burgos Circle. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Reassurance on Local Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The recent incident in another district of Manila was an isolated case and has been addressed by authorities. BGC continues to maintain its strong track record as a safe and secure destination for residents and visitors alike.
