Philippine Radiation threat is a hoax. Please be informed.
Text messages have started circulating today posing to be legitimate warnings from BBC News. The message appears as follows:
BBC News: Japan government confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuclear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. Remain indoors for the first 24 hours. Close doors and windows. Swab neck skin with Betadine where the thyroid area is. Radiation hits the thyroid first. Radiation may hit the Philippines starting 4PM today.
The Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) debunks this as a hoax, assuring the public that the Philippines is safe.
