A Public Announcement in Chabacano

The following is a photo of an announcement explaining to the public how they can help prevent terrorist acts specifically, bomb explosions.

Here is a transcription of the message in the announcement. Unfortunately, the photo isn't very clear and I am not sure if my transcription is correct.

Although some words in the text will not be understandable to some people who are not very exposed to Chabacano, generally, the language used in the text is not very formal and is very straightforward as it aims to disseminate information to the public. Some of the words were spelled as they are pronounced like detalye instead of detalle, bagahe instead of bagaje, ase instead of hace, and nuemas instead of no hay mas (I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this one). This was probably done for easier comprehension by people who are not familiar with the original Spanish spelling. Some words that might not be understood easily in the text are:

Ensiguidas: immediately
Aserca: about
Preveni: prevent
Amenaso: threat

To some people, the words above might be understandable even though they never use it. This is most probably because these words are used very frequently in Chabacano news reports. I actually don’t use the words above but know their meaning because I hear them being used in TV Patrol Chavacano all the time.

Here is a translation of the announcement above:

What You Can Do To Help Prevent Plantings of Bomb and “Improvised Explosive Devices” (IEDs)

The bomb threats and incidents are the work of terrorists. Be alert and vigilant against suspicious baggage and cargo and suspicious looking people. There are suspicious things that may look like this:

Report The Threat:

Situation:

Location/Place

Time of day

The suspect’s description

Type of vehicle used

Type of weapons used

Crime or terrorist act

What was done

Description:

Hair color

Age

Male/Female

Height

Wound marks or Tattoos:

Physical defects

Type of clothes

The speed and exact details are two most important elements in reporting. Report what was seen, nothing else. Reporting right away is very important before the suspect commits the crime and escapes.

If You have Information About Possible Bomb Plantings, Report It Right Away To The Local office of The AFP/PNP.
