Classes in a Quezon City high school disrupted due to bomb threat

Classes in a high school in Quezon City were disrupted Tuesday due to a bomb threat posted on Facebook, which was circulated among the students' parents on Monday night.

The bomb threat, posted on Facebook, said a bomb will go off around 2 p.m. at the Don Alejandro Roces Science Technology High School in Scout Tuazon.

The threat was made by a certain Kreggo.

Policemen rushed to the school to check its premises for bombs as early as 6 a.m.

The authorities did not prevent the students from entering the school because their search has turned out negative.

The school's security guards said the school's management could not immediately make a decision if classes should be suspended because of the bomb threat because their principal has not arrived as of 7 a.m.

A representative from the superintendent's office told GMA News that they will allow the parents to fetch their children from the school.

Police, meanwhile, believe that the bomb threat was just a prank. Despite this, several policemen were still deployed at the school to provide additional security.

The students were eventually sent home before 9 a.m.
