The Philippines Bureau of Immigration announced that two key suspects in the recent Sydney mass shooting traveled to the Philippines before the incident. Sajid Akram, 50, and his son Naveed Akram, 24, flew into the country on November 1 from Sydney and left before the attack that killed 15 people.

The attack on Sydney's Bondi Beach is being treated as a potential terrorist act targeting the Jewish community. Authorities are investigating their activities in the Philippines, particularly in regions known for terrorist activities, including Davao.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines is involved in validating these reports and is coordinating with other agencies to assess any terrorist connections. The investigation continues as Australia grapples with its worst mass shooting in decades.
