Marikina school suspends classes due to bomb threat
MANILA, Philippines-Classes in St. Scholastica’s Academy in Marikina were suspended by the school’s administrators after they received a telephoned bomb threat Wednesday morning.
Marikina’s chief of police Superintendent Sotero Ramos, who personally inspected the school’s premises on West Drive, Marikina Heights, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that police found no bomb on the campus and that the threat was a hoax.
“A section-by-section inspection of the area gave negative results for bombs,” said Ramos.
Ramos said the secretary of the high school principal received a phone call about an alleged bomb in the school at around 10:45 a.m.
The administrators initially had the school’s maintenance and security people search the premises but decide to call in the police around noon, Ramos said, adding that the responding police SWAT team found no explosive.
Nevertheless, Ramos said, St. Scholastica’s directress ,Sr. Rosevy* Balagat, decided to suspend classes at noon for both grade school and high school students as a precautionary measure.
*wrong spelling, it's Roseve, actually.

Man, that was traumatic!
Can you believe our bags are still there? I wonder what it's like to go to school bringing only yourself and finding your belongings in the classroom. Ha!
Still, it absolutely wasn't a good feeling...imagine hearing an announcement to go for lunch, leave your things, and go home from the school head herself..and join in a brief community prayer by Bro. Ed afterwards. And all the people panicking, crying, rushing for the phone booths, and halting the moment Ms. Gabor talks via PA.
That was NOT a good joke. I hope I get over it soon. As well as the rest of the school.
