The National University-Mall of Asia (NU-MOA) shifted its Thursday morning classes to remote learning after authorities received a report of an alleged bomb threat involving the campus.
The National Capital Region Police Office said the threat was reported to police at around 7:50 a.m. Thursday after information received through Facebook Messenger was relayed by the university’s Safety Office.
Police said the alleged threat had been posted on NU-MOA’s Facebook page at around 11:26 p.m. Wednesday.
The information was later passed to a customer relations representative at the MAAX Building, who reported the matter to Police Sub-Station 10.
Personnel from the Pasay Explosive Ordnance Disposal and K9 Unit, Bureau of Fire Protection and Pasay City Police Station were then deployed to assess the situation and verify the threat.
Investigators from the station’s Investigation and Detective Management Section were also tasked to look into the incident.
NU-MOA announced that morning classes would be conducted through remote learning instead of onsite while security checks were underway.
The university said onsite classes and examinations were expected to resume at 1 p.m.
As of the latest available update, NU-MOA had not issued a detailed statement on the alleged bomb threat.
