MANILA, Philippines — A bomb scare disrupted classes and work at the Bulacan State University early Monday morning.
The CNN reported that Senior Superintendent Chito Bersaluna, Bulacan provincial police director, said that they are looking into the possibility that students who didn't to take an exam are behind the scare.
Bersaluna also told CNN that as of 10 am, panelling was ongoing but no bomb had been found yet.
He added that the information came from a text message sent a student. “Name under investigation pa,” he added.
Classes in universities across Metro Manila have been disrupted over the past weeks due to bomb threats. Threats were reported at Mapua Institute of Technology, University of Santo Tomas, Far Eastern University and National Teachers College. No bombs were found.
Universidad de Manila suspended classes last Saturday, September 29, due to a reported bomb scare.
