San Beda suspends classes over bomb threat

MANILA, Philippines - Classes were suspended at the San Beda College in Manila yesterday afternoon after the school administration received a bomb threat.

A school employee reportedly received a text message from an unknown sender that a bomb was set to explode before noon.

Bomb experts from the Manila Police District cordoned off the area and started a room-to-room inspection.

The Presidential Security Group – whose members are responsible for protecting President Aquino and Malacañang, which is near the school – also sent several bomb-sniffing dogs.

No bomb was found.
