The Department of Tourism (DOT) confirmed that the terrorist threat to the Philippines’ hosting of the international beauty pageant Miss Universe is “serious” but insisted that the country will be prepared to hold the pageant in the country next year.
Terror-monitoring SITE Intelligence group tracked a pro-ISIS social media channel wherein a video on “hot to create a bomb” for the Miss Universe pageant was posted. The said video featured the making of explosive belts, possibly to be used by suicide bombers.
