There were several showbiz personalities involved in bomb jokes in the past. We are bringing this news back not for anything else but to reemphasize that bomb jokes are banned under Presidential Decree No. 1727 (Bomb Joke/Threat Law) and will be taken seriously by security and law enforcement authorities.
John Estrada was once detained at the airport for cracking a bomb joke. Jay Manalo also had a similar experience. For regular persons ... a male passenger bound for Singapore was arrested at an airport in Davao City for allegedly making a "bomb joke" when authorities inquired about the contents of his baggage.
Another incident was when one PAL airplane was canceled because of an irresponsible play on words about bombs. Another foreigner was held at Dipolog Airport for joking he has an atomic bomb in his luggage.
If there is any truth to any information about bombs placed elsewhere ... give this information to the proper authorities. Don't play the hero of the day and blurt it out on any social media platform like you were some kind of superman who out-scooped everybody.
A reminder to everyone ... please refrain from making any jokes or comments that refer to bombs, explosives, or any instruments of violence. Bomb jokes can result in unnecessary panic in people, injuries to people and property, disruption of business, and loss of potential income.
Madame Imee Marcos's thoughts may have good intentions but they trigger panic alarms and buttons.
