Apparently, there are text messages going around about supposed bomb threats in Metro Manila.

“Philippine National Police (PNP) Spokesman Chief Supt. Generoso Cerbo described the text messages warning Metro Manila residents of bomb threats as ‘a cruel joke,'” reports Jeff Canoy on ABS-CBNnews.com.

The report noted: “Cerbo said the PNP has no information regarding the threats but continues to monitor information. He added the PNP has yet to find out where the text messages came from, but he assured the public that the PNP is taking these reports seriously.”

The report went on to reveal that “One of the supposed text messages cited an alleged source in Malacañang as advising the message recipient to ‘go home early today and try to avoid crowded areas.’ as well as ‘avoid the MRT and malls.'”

For his part, Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs chief Lt. Col. Harold Cabunoc has called the text message and its variations as a hoax. Still, he urged the public to be vigilant.
