The university said it would hold all classes online and declared Thursday a “digital day” for its Intramuros, Manila campus only.

Students and employees of the university already vacated the campus as authorities inspect the vicinity.

On September 19, Mapúa also received bomb threats in its Manila and Makati City campuses, prompting cancellation of classes.

Both threats, however, turned out to be hoaxes.
