Air Force canine units on Monday inspected the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) building in Pasay City following the reported improvised explosive devices (IEDs) outside the Department of Justice (DOJ) building in Manila and the Senate building in Pasay.
Five Air Force personnel and two canines were deployed to examine the divisions of the NBI’s nine-story building starting around 11:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, the NBI is currently on red alert status due to the State of the Nation Address (Sona) of Pres. Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. this Monday afternoon.
It was past midnight when a suspected IED exploded near the entrance of the DOJ building, which resulted in no casualties.
Hours later, a suspected IED was discovered outside the Senate amid a routine inspection along Diokno Boulevard.
Marcos’ Sona at the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Quezon City is expected to begin at 4 p.m.
