Hoax bomb warning resurfaces online for southern Philippine city
Philippine police have refuted social media posts that warned certain public landmarks in the southern Philippine city of Davao would be bombed in early February 2024 as "retaliation" for a rally held there by supporters of former president Rodrigo Duterte. There were no official reports of any bombings in the city on the date cited in the posts. A similar false claim about a bomb threat for Davao has been circulating online since at least 2016.
