DAGUPAN CITY — A bomb scare on Thursday (June 28) threw into panic students at the Urdaneta City National High School in Urdaneta City, prompting school officials to cancel classes.
But the “bomb” turned out to be a box filled with paper when it was retrieved by responding policemen from a ladies’ room in one of the school buildings, said Supt. Rollyfer Capoquian, Urdaneta police chief.
The box was wrapped with a packaging tape and had a remote control device on it when found by a student during a lunch break about 12:30 p.m.
“Someone may have tried to scare the students,” said Capoquian by telephone.
The school is Urdaneta’s most populated public school.
