Police conducted a thorough sweep around the area, including the nearby schools, but no bombs were found.
The Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology was the first to receive the bomb threat, which prompted the police to search the campus.
Centro Escolar University, the College of the Holy Spirit-Manila, and San Beda College were also targeted in the bomb hoax.
At 4:34 a.m., the CEU received a Facebook message from a supposed member of the extremist Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), saying that bombs had been planted in its campus, as well as San Beda College and two other schools.
