Philippines tourism officials on Tuesday said a threat by an Islamic State-related group to bomb the Miss Universe beauty contest was "serious", but insisted the country would be ready to hold the pageant next year.
A pro-ISIS social media channel tracked by the terror-monitoring SITE Intelligence Group showed a video on how to "create a bomb for Miss Universe," referring to the beauty pageant to be held in Manila in January 2017.
The video, posted on Monday, appeared to show how to make an explosive belt for suicide operations.
"We consider this as serious," said the Department of Tourism, which last month announced it won the contest to host the 2017 pageant.
It cited the country's successful hosting of Pope Francis last year, as well as world leaders for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, as proof that it was ready for the expected influx of visitors for Miss Universe.
The threat would be referred to an intelligence group assigned to the pageant, national police spokesman Senior Superintendent Dionardo Carlos told AFP.
"That's going to be looked at," he said, without giving details.
Filipino Muslim militants operating in the south of the country have in recent years pledged allegiance to the IS, though security officials and analysts said they were more focused on raising ransom from kidnappings than propagating an ideology. — Agence France-Presse
Kashokot naman
ReplyDeletetrue. kashokot kasi baka eto yung sinabi ni Bato na yung mga drug lord sa pinas eh humingi na ng tulong sa ISIS para iganti yung mga napatay na mga pusher
DeleteOo nga nagkakampihan na ang mga drug lords at mga terorista. Noon kasi alam nila kayang-kaya lang nilang takutin ang gobyerno eh
DeleteYES!!! Mukhang tatama yung prediction ko na yung Miss U na 2015 e ang LAST Miss U!
Deletetalo talaga kaming mga may anxiety sa ginagawa ni duterte piece of mind ang nawawala samin ang akala ko mas magiging kampante kami :(
DeleteKaya nga tigilan na nila yang miss unoverse eklat na yan, gagatos na nga tayo diyan, meron pa tayong ganyang problema.
Delete10:56 PEACE OF MIND 😂
DeleteYikes! Nood nalang ako ng livestream if meron
ReplyDeletesus tong ISIS na ito gusto niyo rin naman tumingin sa mga babae #hipokrito
ReplyDeleteIf I know DOT din ng issue na yan para ma pag usapan ang pageant at ma pick ng international media. Beauty pageants are irelevant in progressive countries.
ReplyDeleteThe organization last year had to resort to gimik aka Steve Harvey announcing the wrong winner para mapagusapan. The government should focus its attention on sports not pageants.
Agree dapat sports. Akala ko ba ngayon na nakaupo si Pacman eh makikita man lang na may support ang government sa mga athletes natin. Ang konti man lang ng representatives ng Pinas for the Rio Olympics.
DeleteYou both have a disgusting mind... I feel sorry for your parents....
DeleteWhat's your proof na it's a Steve Harvey gimmick?
DeleteAnon 9:14
DeleteCommon sense which unfortunately you do not possess. In this age you still believe in beauty pageants.
Hate hate ISIS so much. They're losing ground in the Middle East so they're trying to reach out to the international extremists to do their dirty work. I'm so disgusted! Be safe, Philippines! Be vigilant and may God bless us 😔
ReplyDeleteIto mismo ang dahilan kung bakit sana hindi nila pinilit ipush na dito gawin yan. Sa dami kasi ng terroriat attacks ngayon, hindi malayong mangyari to. Sana binigay na nila sa ibang bansa yan. Kahit pa sabihing sponsored to ng private sectors, gagamit pa rin to ng ka-pulisan para sa safety ng mga kalahok.
ReplyDeleteSus. Kung bobombahin talaga kesehodang sa ibang bansa o dito yan. Para mo na din sinabi na dapat walang airport para hindi mabomba. Walang may alam kung san talaga ang totoong target ng mga yan. Malay mo malls.
DeleteHighly llausible naman na bombahin yan. Remember, Miss Universe is an internationa know event. Eh bakit nila bobombahin ang malls when they can do something bigger and can reach more audience. Philippines doesn't need Miss Universe pageant.
DeletePag naging totoo yan, si pia talaga sisisihin ko!grrr
ReplyDeleteHoy anon 6:43, anong klaseng pag iisip yan?!? Umayos ka
Delete7:59, tama naman na masisisi talaga si Pia. Sya ang nangumbinsi di ba?
DeleteWala naman talagang alam yang si Pia kundi magpapansin.
Deletegrabe kayo basta ma bash lang si Pia!
DeleteGrabe ang liliit ng utak Nyo
DeleteWow. Highest level na ang mga haters. Imbis na sisihin ang terrorista. Si Pia talaga. Pathetic niyo. Get a life.
DeleteSo si Pia na lang lahat ang may kasalanan? Siguro sya din ang may kasalanan bakit pinanganak sa mundo mga taong katulad nyo
Delete10:01 grabe naman paguutak na yan. Walang ibang alam? Napaghahalataan na nalungkot buhay mo.
DeleteHow low can these people go?! Grabe ang walang kalaban laban na mga babae, gusto nilang patayin?? Ganyan sila kaduwag
ReplyDeleteIt's for their religion/ God
DeleteAsking for violence ang PDong nyo at si Bato "roll on deodorant".
ReplyDeleteViolence for violence.
you have been forewarned. Mayayabang at ang mga bunganga walang tigil. Pati mga supporters wala din tigil sa kuda. Nadamay pa yun karamihan na di bumoto.
bu***
9:47 pero pag nag-succeed yung anti-illegal drug campaign nina Duterte at Bato, IKAW AT ANG PAMILYA mo makikinabang din! Kelan pa dapat kumilos ang gobyerno, kung huli na ang lahat? Dapat magpasalamat ka dahil ang gobyerno ngayon nagta-trabaho, hindi tamad! Marami na ngang nagawa magdadalawang buwan pa lang sa pwesto! Palibhasa sanay ka sa gobyernong puro kuda lang pero kulang naman sa gawa!
DeleteAgree. Astig naman ang presidente at PNP chief. Masyadong maangas at magagaling kaya kayang-kaya nila mga ISIS on their own. Buti yan ng magkalabasan na ng tapang. Patayan kung patayan. Matira matibay.
Deletethis gave me more reason to support Trump, he is into fighting with these terrorists!
ReplyDeletehaha. alam mo ba na kasama pilipinas sa listahan ng terrorists countries?. pero kung shunga ka talaga.iboto mo siya.
Deleteako, i will vote for hilary para mabalewala agad boto mo. lol.
Yas gurl! #notohillary
DeleteI would stay clear of the third world pilipines during this time. It's "intelligence" agency is so bad that they'd rather named it dumbest agency Hahahha seriously how can they police it. Dapat talaga nag focus na Lang Ang bansa sa agriculture and fishery industry because it simply lacks the infrastructure for highly technical areas!
ReplyDeleteSobra lait mo sa pinas diba? Wag ka ng magtagalog walang karapatan yang uri mo. Pwe
DeleteMatapang ka lang naman dyan sa mister bright side mo.. Trying hard ka isiksik yang sarili mo dyan sa bansang kung asan ka man ngayon im sure sinusuka ka naman nila dyan.. Eww

ReplyDeleteCorny mo!
DeleteTutal matatapang at maangas ang mga tao sa present govt, kaya nilang sugpuin ang mga ISIS. Patay kung patay.
ReplyDeleteHuwag nalang dito yang Miss U na yan. Sa ibang bansa nalang.
ReplyDeleteThis is scary! I fear for our country especially our President, everyone in the government should help him during this difficult time. hay... Lord please protect our nation from these evil terrorists
ReplyDeleteKala ko ba matapang si Pres. Duterte. Hindi takot mamatay. Eh di kaya niya ISIS.
ReplyDeleteMarami naman beki sa Pilipinas kayang-kaya nila ipagtanggol version ng world cup event nila.
