quit_yume 1,003 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) This jpg shows a map of piracy incidents with a focus on Malaysia, but you can see that Philippines is very visible as well. This represents the last couple of years. The data is tracked and analyzed by Verisk which is a data analytics company. The article (internal to Verisk) discusses the statistically increasing frequency of piracy. Thought some might find this interesting to look at. I occassionally have had trouble posting pics so i hope this works... Hope it is of interest... Edited June 5, 2015 by quit_yume 5 Link to post Share on other sites

It is interesting, thanks. It shows terrorism as well, and that's what has given The Philippines its measles - to borrow Pman's (alas, very) appropriate terminology. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JamesMusslewhite 14,334 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It shows that it is business as usual in Moro Lands. They have always made their fortunes on piracy and slavery.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Oz Jon 2,477 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) A bit hard to see with the map scale, but - It looks like most of the Phils black dots are inland - not really piracy, but political/robbery/kidnapping events? Except down in the infamous SW (Sulu area) there don't appear to be many "sea events" It would be interesting to see what's happening a bit further East in Indonesia (that's a common yacht route up/down to Aus, via Ambon) Eastern Indonesia looks pretty clean? - maybe Indon events are not recorded?

The black dots aren't piracy events. They are terrorist events. The chart shows both piracy and terrorist events. The really amazing thing is that there have been that many terrorist events have occurred in the Philippines in only two years. They certainly haven't all been covered by the media. It makes you wonder about their definition of a terrorist event. It also makes you wonder about the media. Link to post Share on other sites
