Puerto Princesa Police Conducts Probe About Online Threat Against Private School
The Puerto Princesa City Police Office (PPCPO) is investigating an online threat involving alleged violence at a private school in Puerto Princesa City.
The warning reportedly spread wildfire on social media, where a user posted messages about an alleged planned attack targeting students and teachers. Some of the posts also mentioned a particular student who was supposedly being targeted.
After the information reached the authorities, police immediately coordinated with the school administration and conducted a security assessment. The police are also working with other agencies to identify the person behind the social media account and determine the source and credibility of the posts.
The reports were brought to the attention of authorities after local news outlets received information about the alarming messages circulating online. Police are now checking the details as part of their investigation.
Meanwhile, STI College Puerto Princesa announced that all classes and Senior High School examinations were suspended until further notice. The reason for the suspension was not fully explained in the information available, and authorities were still checking whether it was connected to the reported online threat.
Police urged students, teachers, parents, and other members of the community to remain calm while staying alert. The public was also reminded not to share unverified information, as unconfirmed posts can cause unnecessary fear and confusion.
Authorities assured the public that police personnel remain prepared and on alert while the investigation continues. They are working to establish whether the online messages represent a real threat or were made for another purpose.
The identity of the social media user and the exact circumstances behind the posts have yet to be confirmed. Police are expected to provide further information once their verification and security assessment are completed.
For now, members of the public are encouraged to rely on official announcements from the school and authorities and to immediately report suspicious or threatening posts to the proper agencies.
