A bomb threat written on a piece of toilet paper was found inside a Cebu Pacific plane at Zamboanga International Airport over the weekend. The incident occurred during a routine inspection after passengers had disembarked.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) reported that at 8:20 a.m., a cabin crew member discovered a tissue note in one of the lavatories with the message 'may bomba' (there is a bomb) written on it. The crew member immediately alerted ground security personnel, who then conducted a thorough search of the aircraft.

Fortunately, no explosives were found during the inspection. By 8:59 a.m., the situation was deemed under control, and normal operations at Zamboanga International Airport resumed. All passengers were cleared for boarding, and flight activities continued without any further disruptions, according to CAAP.

It is important to note that Presidential Decree 1727 criminalizes the dissemination of false information related to bombs or explosives, highlighting the seriousness of such threats. Authorities are taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of all individuals involved in such incidents.
