00:00 Following the explosion at Mindanao State University and several bomb threats,
00:04 the Regional Peace and Order Council of Metro Manila
00:08 has tightened security in the region.
00:11 Two suspects are still being targeted for bombing
00:14 and they are being investigated if they are connected to international terrorists.
00:18 And that is the joint force that was targeted by Najun Veneration and Ian Cruz.
00:26 If something happens, usually, it's not that everyone is in danger.
00:30 So in a way, yes, there is a failure.
00:33 But whether there is a responsible accountability,
00:38 we will investigate that.
00:41 That is what the Armed Forces of the Philippines admitted.
00:44 The bomb was dropped on a mosque in Mindanao State University or MSU
00:48 in Marawi City, Tundinggo,
00:50 which was bombed by four and injured by more than 40.
00:54 The authorities are still targeting the two members of the terrorist Daula Islamia Mauti Group
01:00 who are suspected of being the cause of the explosion.
01:03 They have warrants for various cases.
01:06 Aside from the two who were caught by CCTV cameras at the entrance of MSU
01:10 before and after the explosion,
01:13 they have another accomplice who served as a lookout and is still unknown.
01:18 Even though this is not yet identified,
01:20 we hope that we can come up with a composite sketch
01:25 based on the description of what we saw in him.
01:29 The local terrorist is the one who is responsible.
01:32 They still have their link to the International Terror Group,
01:36 especially that there is a promise in the explosion.
01:39 The possibility that they have connections outside is not discounted.
01:44 Because of the incident,
01:46 the security on campus and in other places in the country is still tight.
01:50 That is why the leave of absence of all the police is suspended.
01:54 As Christmas is coming,
01:56 the Pambansang Pulisya is still looking for security.
01:59 They will also check their presence in certain places
02:03 such as churches and terminals.
02:05 So that the bombing in Marawi City will not happen again,
02:09 the Regional Peace and Order Council of Metro Manila
02:12 is working to strengthen the security in the region.
02:14 Our beat patrollers should really go around,
02:18 to see the visibility, it is a deterrent to criminals.
02:21 And of course, to our people,
02:23 if you see or hear suspicious activities,
02:27 please report.
02:28 The NCI Police Office is now alert
02:31 and is implementing the security measure for the safety of Metro Manila,
02:35 especially during Christmas.
02:37 In addition to the problem of the bombing in Marawi,
02:40 the next email bomb threat in Metro Manila
02:43 came from a well-known hero, Karasawa.
02:46 Based on the investigation of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group,
02:50 the email came from outside the country.
02:52 Last August, there was also a threat from the same name.
02:56 If we will look at the trend,
02:58 it is not only being done here or being sent here in the Philippines.
03:02 But of course, we are taking it seriously.
03:05 Why? What is the motive?
03:07 We are looking at it.
03:09 That is why the authorities are appealing to the public
03:12 not to spread the email bomb threats on social media
03:16 or in any other way.
03:17 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Veneracion and Ian Cruz.
03:22 We are tuned 24/7.
