Bohol schools halt classes as police probe shooting threat

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol — Classes in all public and private schools in Jagna, Bohol, have been temporarily suspended as a preventive measure following a social media post containing a possible threat. Mayor Mark Louie Monungolh announced the decision on Friday. The suspension followed an initial preventive security assessment conducted by the police. Monungolh emphasized that the safety of residents is the top priority and that classes will not resume until the situation is confirmed to be entirely safe. Authorities are currently investigating to identify the source and credibility of the social media post. The Philippines, particularly areas with many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), often faces security concerns. Threats via social media have occurred in similar instances before, prompting increased security measures in schools and public facilities. This incident highlights the importance of social media monitoring and swift response in maintaining domestic security in the Philippines. Source: Inquirer NewsInfo
