MANILA, Philippines – Exactly two weeks after a bomb scare hit a university in Quezon City, another was reported in Manila.

Following the threat, which later turned out to be a hoax, against the Ateneo de Manila University on Feb. 12, the University of Sto. Tomas received a similar message Wednesday via text message that spread around the campus saying that bombs would go off at Albertus Magnus, St. Raymund’s and Roque Ruaño buildings between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
