CALASIAO, Pangasinan – As a precautionary measure and to ensure the safety of students, classes at Manaoag National High School (MNHS) were temporarily suspended on Friday after a Facebook post of a shooting threat against a school identified only by the initials MNHS.

While the post has not yet been verified and authorities have not confirmed which “MNHS” it referred to, the administration, led by Dr. Daisy S. Mayola, said it acted because it did not take the threat lightly.

The threat says: “Killings will take place at MNHS. We are targeting pupils of Grades 7 to 12. We shall start shooting students at 2:30. We do not care if we are apprehended.”
