Even if the National Capital Region Police
Office (NCRPO) has just described a supposed, but fast spreading, bomb threat
on a supposed SM mall as a hoax (https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1079453/ncrpo-sm-bomb-threat-a-hoax),
STAY ALERT AND TAKE EXTRA CARE when you’re in one.
First: As I was writing this, there was still
NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT from top SM management that there is no bomb threat on
any of their malls. IT’S THEM and not the NCRPO who should be the FIRST to
announce that it’s just a hoax.
Second: I agree with NCRPO Director Guillermo
Eleazar that the supposed threat was “too casual and carefree” and could possibly be
meant to sow panic or alarm among the people. The supposed mall under threat
was not even specified.
But if that’s the case, then the supposed threat should have
been made PUBLIC to attract more attention and trigger wider panic, and not
just through the private message app of Facebook, as requested in the warning. I
know because an FB reader forwarded the warning to me in a private message.
Mainaw ha, HINDI KO SINASABING TOTOO yong threat. Ang
sinasabi ko lang, TODO-TODO INGAT sa lahat.
