Bomb Threat the Loyola Campus

Rizal  Philippines |  February 14, 2014

 

From Rappler


It is Happy Valentine's Day today.  and double 14.  What an auspicious day.

However, two days ago it was not well in Loyola campus.   And every one was scared.   The Loyola staff had to evacuate the entire campus, at all schools:   grade, high school, Loyola. The anonymous text messages (two in all could not be taken lightly)  The text messages read:  : “MAY MGA BOMBA NA SASABOG SA ATENEO. PANIGURADONG MADAMING ESTUDYANTE AT EMPLEYADO ANG MAMATAY. 30 MINUTO MULA NGAYON.” (Bombs will explode in Ateneo. Surely many students and employees will die. 30 minutes from now).

 I was told at the AGSB faculty lounge yesterday afternoon,  by Ms. Isabelle, a journalism adjunct professor whom I met yesterday.

The QC police and NBI  cleared the area and the University was reopened in the afternoon at 4mp, and the threat was declared a hoax by QC police

Next case analysis is Victoria Court

The next case analysis is Victoria court and this is fun.  The panel led by some of our male students will conduct the case analysis as I grade the class on their recitation/critical thinking.

I was interviewed, incidentally by Rappler on the same topic.  The case analysis last June 27, 2012 which was a class led analysis, showed up at Google and Rappler picked up that story. 

Since Valentine is very recent, the case is very timely and relevant
