As of this posting, authorities had yet to identify him, although a dzBB report said he was called “Jun.”

An initial report to Andrade said the man, who climbed up the school around 12 noon (not 10 a.m. as earlier reported), was “attempting to commit suicide.”

Asked why he attempted to commit suicide, Andrade said: “He has mental problems (May diperensiya).”  SFM
