That news is nonsense. I talked with the priest who was cited on vnunet. He said that some Filipino members of his church received that sms and were also questioned by the police (very politely, he stressed), but this was in no way related to receiving the sms. The padre basically said that the story was made up by a leftist ngo called Migrante International, then printed without research by the inquirer, and then found its way on the net. He and some Filipinos are now demanding the ngo to apologize for spreading fear with the relatives of the questioned people.
