A male passenger at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was nabbed by airport police on Friday over a “bomb” joke he made while waiting for his flight to Butuan City.

Bernabe Cuello Jr., 56, of San Nicolas town in Laguna province, learned that the joke was on him when alert security guards at the aerobridge tube pounced on him after blurting: “Baka wala ng tao sa baba, baka may naglagay ng bomba sa gulong [Maybe nobody’s downstairs, maybe someone placed a bomb on the tire].”
