“Upon seeing the bomb threat message posted on Facebook, the University immediately implemented safety and security measures in accordance with its Emergency Response and Crisis Management Protocol to ensure the protection of all students, faculty, and staff,” Manalese said.

She also shared how the relevant offices, such as the OSHO/DRRM and Civil Security Unit, promptly carried out their respective roles in line with the approved procedures and measures pertaining to the bomb threat incident.

Overall, the initiatives, led by the Pampanga State U President Dr. Enrique Baking, aim to strengthen trust, safety, and resilience within the University community.
