The Philippine National Police (PNP) Anti-Cybercrime Group
is validating the video of an alleged local member of the Islamic State of Iran
and Syria (ISIS) threatening to sabotage the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
(APEC) Leaders' Summit in Manila
Chief Supt. Wilben Mayor, head of the PNP-Public Information
Office (PIO), said on Monday that the PNP-ACG is looking into the authenticity
of the alleged video.
He maintained that the PNP has not received reports of any
direct or specific threat to the APEC Summit that formally opens on Tuesday.
"The nationwide full alert condition is a matter of
routine operational procedure in response to the incidents in France
Mayor added that reports of “scare messages” circulating,
warning of purported terror threats, are deliberate efforts at disinformation.
“I believe there is a deliberate effort at disinformation.
Such messages must be disregarded and reported immediately to authorities,” he
said.
Meanwhile, the APEC Security Task Force stressed that there
was no ISIS presence in the country.
Mayor appealed to the public not to patronize this kind of
video threat uploaded in social media.
The four-hour video was uploaded in social networking site
wherein two alleged members of ISIS threatened
they would conduct terrorist attacks in several areas that would lead the
public into the highest level of terror.
