The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) has formed a team to identify the personalities behind the series of bomb threats received by four schools in the city.

Authorities immediately responded to reports that Davao Wisdom Academy received a bomb threat on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

Classes were suspended and everyone in campus was evacuated.

In a message received by a teacher on social media, a suspicious person was reportedly seen inside the campus and was believed to be carrying a bomb. The message also included a description of the supposed suspect.

At 1 p.m. on the same day, students and personnel of Mintal Comprehensive Stand Alone Senior High School were also evacuated after the school’s official social media page received a message from a certain “Kozo Wagner,” claiming that a bomb had been planted on the school building and was set to explode.

Later in the evening, Talomo National High School also received a message through its social media page from an account with no profile picture and a locked profile, suspected to be a dummy account. Another similar message followed at dawn, warning that a bomb had been planted inside the school.

“Ang other words pa niya is ayaw mo pag-evacuate. Wala daw sya nagbinuang, mao to ang content sa iyang message. Kaganiha during the evacuation, ang among (gisulti) is earthquake drill kay last time man gud nagpanic ang mga bata katong sa linog. So, dili mi gusto nga magpanic napud sila,” Kristopher Glen Uy, teacher of Talomo National High School, said.

Another school, F. Bangoy Natioinal High School-Senior High School, also received a bomb threat morning on Thursday, October 23, 2025.

Students and school personnel were evacuated from the premises immediately.

Police confirmed that no explosives were found when authorities inspected all schools that received bomb threats.

“Kagahapon ug karong buntag, na-found out nato nga negative pero ang resulta man gud is dili maayo. So, naa tay mga anggulo nga ginatan-aw nga possible reasons nga gihimo ni and part of that investigation, kaning possible estudyante ba gumikan kay exam,” Davao City Police Office Spokesperson, Capt. Hazel Caballero Tuazon, said.

Authorities reminded the public that making a bomb threat is considered a serious criminal offense under the law.

Under Presidential Decree 1727, anyone who spreads or jokes about a bomb threat – whether in person or through any form of communication, including social media – may face imprisonment of up to five years and a fine of P40,000.

Police said the investigating team will focus on these incidents and hold those responsible accountable.

“Nag-instruct ang city director sa atoang investigating team nga kailangan naay managot aning series of bomb threat mao ng nag-coordinate ta sa atong Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit 11 to really identify these individuals involved,” Tuazon added.
