PASAY CITY— A full aviation security response was activated on Saturday night of January 24, 2026 at NAIA Terminal 3 following a bomb joke made by a 52-year-old female departing passenger during baggage check-in at the departure.

The incident occurred at Island A, Counter A-9 of the terminal’s departure area while the passenger was undergoing routine baggage check-in for a domestic flight bound for Tacloban. During the process, ground service personnel of an airline requested the removal of an old baggage tag to facilitate proper labeling. A disagreement ensued, during which the passenger jokingly remarked, “Bomba ata yan,” that the contents of the baggage might be a bomb.

Airport ground staff immediately flagged the statement as a serious security concern and reminded the passenger that jokes or remarks involving bombs or explosives are strictly prohibited within airport premises and are punishable under existing aviation security regulations and Presidential Decree 1727 or the Anti-Bomb Joke Law.

The PNP Aviation Security Group—NAIA Police Station 3 (NPS 3) and Special Operations Unit (SOU)— personnel were promptly alerted, leading to the immediate cordoning of the area and the activation of standard emergency response protocols. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Explosive Detection Dog (EDD) teams were deployed to conduct a thorough inspection and clearing operation. After a meticulous sweep, the area was declared clear of any explosive or incendiary materials in the early hours of the following day.

The passenger was escorted to the airport police station for documentation and investigation. While no criminal charges were ultimately pursued following the ex*****on of an affidavit of non-formal complaint by airline representatives, the passenger was offloaded from the scheduled flight and will be blacklisted from future flights by the airline concerned.

PBGen Dionisio B Bartolome, Jr, Director of the PNP AVSEGROUP, reminded the public that, “Any bomb-related jokes or remarks in airports are strictly prohibited and will prompt immediate security action.” # # #
