THE The Manila Police District carried out a full bomb sweep and threat assessment across the De La Salle University campus in Manila on Monday afternoon, shortly after the institution ordered the immediate evacuation of all students, faculty, and staff due to a reported bomb threat.
Classes and on-campus activities were suspended as a precaution while law enforcement officers systematically inspected buildings, common areas, and entry points to verify the safety of the premises.
Authorities deployed specialized security personnel and detection equipment to scour the campus for any suspicious items or potential hazards. The university administration coordinated closely with the police throughout the operation, advising the campus community to remain away from the area until the all-clear was issued. No details were immediately released regarding the source or nature of the threat, and investigators have yet to determine whether it was credible or a hoax.
Normal operations will resume only once law enforcement has confirmed that the campus is safe and free of danger. The university assured the public that the welfare of its students and personnel remains its top priority, and additional security measures may be implemented as necessary moving forward. Further updates, including any identification of those responsible for the threat, are expected as the police investigation progresses.
