A hoax SMS text message has been circulating claiming that radiation may hit the Philippines. Authorities in Manila have issued an official denial of the hoax. The BBC has issued no such news flash, and the Philippines Department of Science and Technology has published a statement asking people not to believe the hoaxes. The hoax message is being circulated in the Philippines following explosions that rocked Japans Fukushima nuclear power plant, which have rocked Japan’s power plant. It reads: Remain indoors first 24hours. Close doors and windows. Swab neck skin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first.”]
