Bomb Joke at the NAIA

An OFW was arrested at the NAIA for the violation of Presidential Decree No. 1727 or the unlawful dissemination of malicious or false information willful making of any threat concerning bombs, explosives or any similar device or means of destruction. The airport officials were checking the OFWs bags when he jokingly said that he had grenade in it. He was then put into custody by the Airport police.

OFWs should be careful in making remarks that could harm them. The OFW did not mean to scare people because he was just joking. However, he has to suffer the consequences of his actions. I just hope that the airport police would be more understanding. If that OFW could not make it to UK days, his UK visa could expire and he could lose his job. His family would suffer for that remark that he made which was only meant as a joke.
