Text Scare


“We got info from our Gensan Depot sighting of two vessels landing at the border of Maasim and General Santos City. Several Armed men, believed to be terrorists affiliated with the Moro Bangsa Liberation Army (MBLA), affiliated from the vessels. They remain at large. At least, ten bombs were planted in different places in General Santos City. As precautionary, suggest avoiding places prone to bombing (i.e. malls, movie houses, unsecured restaurants, sidewalks, markets, buses). Park your vehicles in secured parking lots. Limit movement at night.”
