CEBU CITY, Philippines – Following the recent bombing incident at a university in Marawi City, law enforcement agencies in Central Visayas are urging the public to remain vigilant against potential bomb threats.
In a Facebook post, the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7) also shared tips on what needs to be done in the event of a bomb threat.
