Bomb threats are very rampant now especially in the Philippines. So I made a safety measure which could help you guide whenever a Bomb threat is called in or you find a suspisious package left unattended.
Indicators of a possible:
-Strange, unusual, unattended baggages, bags, boxes or parcels;
-Tightly wrapped and compact packages or parcels;
-Oily strains on an envelope or wrapping;
-A ticking sounds similar that of a clock is heard;
-Presence of electric wires, plastic cord and batteries in a baggage, bag or box;
-Delivery of unexpected package or parcels;
-Keep in mind that bombs can be constructed to look like almost anything and can be placed or delivered in many ways.
Don’ts 
-Don’t panic;
-Don’t touch the suspected incendiary device or bomb;
-Don’t move or attempt to open suspicious or unattended packages;
-Don’t receive any package, bag, box or parcel from strangers;
-In case of actual explosion, don’t tamper with the debris. 
Do’s
-Move at least 300 feet away from the bomb;
-Turn off electrical and gas units when possible;
-Report immediately the presence of suspicious packages to the building administrator or chief security guard or uniformed personnel;
-Call the nearest police station.
In Case a Bomb Threat is called in…
-Keep the caller or line as long as possible. Record every word spoken by the caller;
-Ask the caller where the bomb is located and what time it will detonate;
-Pay attention to background noises, such as motors running or music playing, which may give a clue as to the location of the caller;
-Listen closely to the caller’s voice (male, female), voice quality (calm, exited), accent, speech impediment;
-Report information immediately to the authorities;
-Remain available. Law enforcers will want to interview you.
