MANILA — Police denied Friday online rumors of a supposedly looming emergency situation in Metro Manila.

In a Facebook post by “Maranao TV”, an unidentified person had advised residents to make preparations for a possible emergency situation in Metro Manila, the National Capital Region Police Office noted.

“There is no credible information monitored by our intelligence units that would suggest any form of threat in Metro Manila,” the NCRPO said in a statement.

“We want to assure everyone that an in-depth validation was immediately conducted and based on latest intelligence report by various intelligence units, there is no information of any security threat that can cause security alarm in Metro Manila,” it added.

The NCRPO said it was investigating the identity of the person in the Facebook video.

“We encourage everyone to remain calm, deliberate and to be very discerning in what you see in social media,” the Metro Manila police told the public.

“Immediately report to the nearest police station information of any suspicious persons and events for immediate and appropriate actions,” it added.
