00:00 The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center in Japan is coordinating to find out
00:05 who is behind the series of bomb threats against some government agencies.
00:09 According to the PNP, there are 28 bomb threats that were recorded in Metro Manila only.

00:17 The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center is now in the center of the email that was used
00:25 by those who were sent bomb threats against some government agencies.
00:28 Some of the agencies that were sent the email are the DNR Head Office in Quezon City,
00:33 Deputy Division Office in Bataan, and IBA Zambales LGU.
00:36 According to CIC's Executive Director Undersecretary Alexander Ramos,
00:40 there are only 28 PNP bomb threats in Metro Manila.
00:45 We found out early that this is just a part of our center's plan.
00:55 Apparently, a Japanese national used an email from Japan.
01:04 We have a record of this.
01:11 According to CIC, not all of the bomb threats were successful.
01:15 This is according to the agency's view on the mail servers.
01:18 Last year, there was an incident where both senders were involved.
01:21 Yesterday, the same thing happened in Malaysia.
01:24 The investigation is ongoing on who is behind the bomb threats.
01:28 It is too early to make speculations because we are still looking for data.
01:35 We are sure that the email came from Japan.
01:41 That's what we are sure of.
01:43 As to the identity, we are not yet in that stage.
01:47 That's why we invited the representative of Japan to listen to the problems of our agencies.
01:55 In addition, the aforementioned issue was brought here and the details were shared to help the country in the investigation.
02:02 The CICC also sent an official communication to Japan.
02:05 The CICC also helped the PNP in the affected agencies
02:09 along with the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency and the National Privacy Commission.
02:13 Based on our meeting, we are asking the police to investigate.
02:19 The bomb threat should not be ignored.
02:25 It should be taken seriously because it is only temporary.
02:29 It is only a second.
02:30 If a wrong decision is made, many will be hurt.
02:34 Treat the report as if it were true and do not spread the information
02:44 unless it is to your supervisor who can take appropriate action.
02:49 The CICC is urging the public to be calm in these kinds of incidents.
