The father and son behind the Bondi terror attack, Sajid and Naveed Akram, spent their entire four-week stay in the Philippines quietly inside a hotel in Davao City. Philippine police and hotel staff said the pair rarely left their room and did not talk to other guests or receive visitors. They stayed at GV Hotel from 1 to 28 November, only going out briefly for an hour or so at a time. Naveed Akram, 24, faces 59 charges in Australia, including 15 for murder after a deadly shooting at a Hanukah event at Bondi Beach. His father, Sajid, 50, was killed during a police shootout. Australian police suspect the attack may have been inspired by Islamic State. An IS flag was found in their car, and intelligence agencies investigated their links to radical groups. Some reports suggested the pair went to the Philippines for militant training. However, Philippine security adviser Eduardo Año said there was "no evidence" they left Davao City or received training. "The duration of their stay would not have allowed for any meaningful and structured training," he said. The hotel staff described the suspects as quiet and polite. They traveled with one large luggage and a backpack, rarely left the hotel, and did not have their own vehicle. A hotel worker, Jenelyn Sayson, said, "They did not behave suspiciously" and only once asked about where to buy durian fruit. Housekeeping found fast food trash but no papers or documents left behind. The Philippine president's spokesperson rejected claims that the country is a hotspot for IS training. The military said only about 50 IS-linked militants remain in Mindanao, with no foreign terrorist activities recently. General Romeo Brawner said, "We cannot see the credibility of reports that the gunmen underwent training here." Investigations in both countries continue to uncover the full purpose of the Akrams’ stay in the Philippines.
