Isa Avendaño-Umali on Super Radyo dzBB reported Thursday that Police Colonel Bernard Yang of Pasay City identified the woman as Marites Florentino, 23, of Caloocan City.

Florentino, the report said, was about to enter the paid-up area of the station when she joked about a bomb inside her bag.

A lady guard immediately held Florentino, searched her bag, and later brought her to the Baclaran Police Community Precinct.
