Taking cue from the recent bomb threats that circulated in Davao City, a military official asked the public here not to pass on bomb threat information without assessing whether or not such information is a hoax.
The Davao City Police chief has belied the testimony of a witness who introduced himself as a former hitman of the alleged Davao Death Squad (DDS) linking President Rodrigo Duterte and several police officials to extrajudicial killings.
Authorities investigating the Roxas night market blast said they now have nine suspects in the deadly bombing on September 2, but they were only able to file charges against one of the suspects on Wednesday afternoon, September 14 pending investigation on the other suspects.
Local officials are proposing to add more CCTV cameras and implement a profiling system in villages to enhance security measure in the city following the deadly blast last September 2.
Casualties of the deadly night market blast here are still confined in different hospitals in the city, 12 days after the incident.
