A hoax SMS text message claiming that radiation may hit the Philippines, following explosions that have rocked Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant, have caused such a problem that authorities in Manila have issued an official denial.
The text of one of the hoaxes that is being spread via SMS messages reads as follows:
"BBC Flashnews: Japan gov't confirms radiation leak at Fukushima nuclear plants. Asian countries should take necessary precautions. Remain indoors first 24hours. Close doors and windows. Swab neck skin with betadine where thyroid area is, radiation hits thyroid first. Take extra precaution, radiation may hit Philippines."
