QC school bomb threat a hoax — QCPD chief

Anti-cybercrime operatives of the Quezon City Police District are now digging deep into the identities of those who threatened to bomb the San Francisco National High School early Monday morning.

QCPD Director P/Brig. Gen. Red Maranan said that those who would be found liable for making the threat would surely go to jail because Presidential Decree No. 1727 penalizes "malicious dissemination of false information or the willful making of any threat concerning bombs, explosives or any similar device or means of destruction."

Maranan told the Daily Tribune that this came after a teacher noticed a Facebook account, posted a bomb threat at 6:23 a.m., prompting school officials to alert the police.

Another person sought the assistance of the QCPD and requested an explosive ordnance disposal team to conduct the operation. Maranan immediately dispatched the concerned units.

Morning classes in the said school were suspended for the day following the threat.

Maranan added that the threat turned out to be a hoax after their bomb squad cleared the school premises of explosive materials

'Kinakasuhan talaga natin yum mga ganyan at ikinukulong," Maranan said, as he vowed that the anti-cybercrime group will have the identities of the perpetrator in due time.
