St. Paul Pasig suspends classes due to bomb scare

MANILA, Philippines—A day after  a university in Manila was hit by a bomb scare,  another was reported in Pasig.

The Saint Paul College in Pasig suspended Thursday  all classes due to an alleged bomb threat, an advisory from the school said.

The school said the source of the scare was an anonymous text that was being circulated around Saint Paul early Thursday morning.

In a text advisory for parents, school authorities said: “Good morning parents. For the safety of everyone, we are sending your daughters home because of a threat received from an anonymous texter. The school security has searched the school grounds and did not find any suspicious item. But we still dismiss your daughters so they are all safe. We would like to ask for your prudence in attending to this matter.”

INQUIRER.net tried to reach the administration of St. Paul College for comment but there has been no response, so far.

On February 12, a bomb threat which later turned into a hoax , also spread around the Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City.

On Wednesday, another bomb threat was reported at the University of Sto. Tomas in Manila.
