MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - The bomb threat received by the Assumption College in Makati is a hoax, Makati police chief Senior Superintendent Froilan Bonifacio said.
Students of the Assumption College in Makati have been sent home early on Monday after receiving a bomb threat.
A bomb squad had combed the area to check if the threat was real. It was supposedly received at around 9:00 a.m.
ABS-CBN Business Correspondent Maiki Oreta said: “My daughter is in kindergarten there. This morning we've received texts from parents, [it] was also confirmed by a friend of ours from the college department that around 9am this morning they received a bomb threat at the College Department.”
There have been rumors that Ateneo, Mapua and Miriam College also received bomb threats.
An Ateneo media officer denied the news.
The bomb threat comes less than a week after the bus blast in EDSA Avenue in Buendia that killed 5 people and hurt 13 more. (report from abs-cbnNEWS.com)
