All classes and local government operations in Santa Cruz, Laguna were suspended on Wednesday following an alleged bomb threat.
The announcement was made by Santa Cruz Mayor Edgar San Luis through a Facebook post.
“Today, a message has been circulating on social media regarding a supposed bomb threat in our town. As a precautionary measure, classes in all levels—both public and private—are suspended, along with the temporary halt of operations at the local government while authorities investigate the matter,” San Luis said.
He also urged the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information.
“We encourage everyone not to believe or share unofficial reports. In situations like this, false information can cause unnecessary fear, panic, and danger,” the mayor added.
The Laguna Provincial Information Office (PIO) confirmed an investigation is ongoing.
“At present, authorities are actively looking into the report. Inspections have started in several facilities including the municipal hall, the provincial capitol, and nearby schools,” the Laguna PIO said in a statement.
