  • Awaiting deadline 60% False Alarm and Reopening

    Philippine National Police (PNP) and local authorities conduct a swift sweep of the evacuated buildings, finding no explosives or hazardous materials. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs issues a correction stating the alert was triggered by a system glitch or a hoax with no credible substance. Classes in the affected halls resume normally the following Monday.

  • Awaiting deadline 25% Hoax Incident and Legal Action

    Investigators identify a specific individual or group responsible for making the threat via social media or a fake call. The University issues a formal statement condemning the act, and the Department of Justice opens a case for cybercrime or terrorism-related threats. The evacuation ends after the immediate physical space is cleared, but the community remains on alert for potential follow-up claims.

  • Awaiting deadline 5% Political Exploitation and Protest

    Opposition groups or student activists seize the narrative, claiming the 'unspecified threat' was a pretext for the administration to silence dissent or crack down on upcoming protests. This triggers immediate, large-scale counter-protests at the university gates, drawing national media attention away from the original threat and toward political unrest. The university is forced to declare a week-long suspension of all classes to manage the security situation.
