But after a check by the police, the threat turned out to be a false alarm, prompting the school to issue another announcement that classes and work will resume the following day.

“Mapúa University Intramuros Campus is negative from any explosive and hazardous materials. Classes and office work in the Intramuros Campus will resume tomorrow, September 19, 2018,” the university said on its official Twitter page.
