EXPLOSIVE and Ordnance Disposal operatives of the Quezon City Police District made quick responses as they were bombarded with calls from government and business establishments of bomb threats on Monday morning.
First to receive a call that a bomb was planted in their vicinity was the Vertis North, a residential and commercial complex located at the corner of EDSA and North Avenue.
At 8:55 a.m., QCPD Police Station 15 (Project 6) personnel and the EOD team responded to another bomb threat from a call made allegedly by a certain Japanese national at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Central Office in Visayas Avenue, Barangay Vasra.
However, conducting operations and thorough inspections, the QCPD declared the results: “yielded negative and no signs of any bombs or any Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was found thereat.”
An email from alleged Japanese national was also the one responsible in a bomb threat at MRT Kamuning Station last September 2023.
DENR employees were ordered to go home.
As the bomb squad cleared the DENR premises of any threat, another call of bomb threat was received at the Philippine Information Agency that also turned out to be a hoax.
Even the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Quezon City got a call that a bomb will explode at the Commission on Audit Central Office in Commonwealth Avenue prompting lawmen to scour the area.
The QC Bureau of Fire Department also received a bomb threat call informing them that a bomb will explode at the Social Security System Head Office in East Avenue.
All of the threats on the other hand, turned out to be a hoax.
