Bomb threat written on toilet paper found in plane in Zamboanga City

A bomb threat written on a toilet paper was discovered inside a Cebu Pacific plane at Zamboanga International Airport on Saturday.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said at 8:20 a.m. a cabin crew member performing a routine inspection after enger disembarkation saw a tissue note inside one of the aircraft’s lavatories bearing the message “may bomba” (there is a bomb).

The flight attendant immediately reported the matter to ground security personnel, who then conducted a thorough inspection of the aircraft.

No explosives were found.

''By 8:59 a.m., the situation was declared under control, and normal operations at Zamboanga International Airport resumed. All engers were cleared for boarding, and flight activities continued without further disruption,'' CAAP said.

Presidential Decree 1727 criminalizes the malicious dissemination of false information concerning bombs or explosives. —VBL, GMA Integrated News
