Authorities said the complaint for violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 and the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 was filed on Nov. 24 at the office of the city prosecutor.
The suspects include two minors, according to the Southern Police District (SPD).
“Mariin nating ipinapaalala sa lahat na ang pagbibiro tungkol sa bomba ay may kaakibat na parusang multa at pagkakakulong kaya’t hinihingi namin na sana ay huwag na itong mangyari muli,” SPD Director Kirby John Kraft said.
