In-person classes suspended in Pampanga amid bomb threats

In Mabalacat City, Pampanga, authorities suspended in-person classes at all public and private schools due to bomb threats posted online by an individual using the alias 'Anthony Policarpio.' The threats targeted multiple schools between August 26 and September 5, citing alleged discrimination in student admissions as motivation. Mayor Gerald Guttrie Aquino ordered the suspension after consultations with local police and education officials, emphasizing concerns for student safety. Meanwhile, in nearby Angeles City, three minors were detained for creating a social media video depicting a masked figure threatening to stab students at Cutud Elementary School. Authorities described the video as a prank and mandated counseling and community service for the minors.
