Security tightened in Ozamis

ILIGAN CITY — Authorities in nearby Ozamis City tightened security measures following a prankster’s threat to bomb at least two government offices last week.

Ozamis City officials revealed that an unidentified man called the offices of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Social Security System (SSS) that bombs were planted in their respective offices.

But even as the incident was only a hoax, Ozamis City Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog immediately coordinated with the police to increase police visibility. — Lino de la Cruz
