Two students are now under police custody after being identified as the ones behind online posts threatening violence against schools in Taguig City.
Investigators said one of the students claimed his classmate used his social media account to issue the threats.
Authorities also examined a video showing a firearm allegedly linked to the posts but confirmed it was merely downloaded from Facebook and not recorded by the suspects.
The threats specifically targeted Taguig National High School, Maria Asuncion Rodriguez Tiñga High School, and Moreh Academy Taguig.
One post warned of “bloodshed” in Grade 7 classrooms, while another threatened a “bloody battle” against Grade 9 students on August 24.
The Taguig City government stressed that those responsible will face legal consequences.
The MPD and local police continue to investigate the circumstances, including the authenticity of the threats and the accountability of the students involved.
In response, schools tightened security with bag inspections, police patrols, and barangay multipliers deployed across campuses.
Moreh Academy announced that face‑to‑face classes will resume on Aug. 25, assuring parents that safety measures are in place.
The Schools Division Office of Taguig and Pateros confirmed that classes at all levels will proceed as scheduled, backed by joint inspection teams from the PNP, POSO, and BEST Security.
