Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Boying Remulla directed the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct a thorough investigation into the alarming bomb threat sent by an unverified e-mail account to several government agencies and local government units.
The unknown e-mail sender identified himself as Takahiro Karasawa, supposedly a Japanese lawyer from a certain “Steadiness Law Office,” and a highly knowledgeable bomb-maker.
In the e-mail, Karasawa emphasized that bombs will rock major Philippine government agencies on February 12, 2024 approximately around 3:34 pm.
“There should be no place for pranks or spreading fear among our people. Let this be a warning to those behind this that we will not tolerate such acts and we will go after you with the full extent of the law,” Secretary Remulla warned.
