Police personnel have been deployed to the university, including members of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) K9 Group, while personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) also responded to the campus.

NU-MOA announced that its classes would be conducted through Remote Synchronous Learning instead of face-to-face sessions this morning.

The university, however, did not immediately state a reason for the change in learning modality.

In an update past noon, De Sesto said that the area was negative for hazardous or explosive materials after they conducted an inspection. —Sherylin Untalan/ VAL, GMA News
