An alleged bomb scare prompted the suspension of classes at a private school in Makati City on Monday morning.
Radio dzBB's Denver Trinidad reported that students at the elementary, high school and college levels of the school were instructed to go home.
The report quoted Makati police chief Senior Superintendent Froilan Bonifacio as saying they received the bomb threat as early as Sunday night.
On the other hand, the dzBB report said the school's Office of Student Affairs said the students were sent home "for security reasons."
As of Monday morning, rescue patrols by San Lorenzo village, K-9 units, and a fire truck were deployed to the areas around the school.
No one among the students was seen panicking, the report added. (report from VVP, GMANews.TV)
