A report of a “loud sound” at Isulan National High School in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat is not treated as a shooting incident, the province’s governor says. Sultan Kudarat Governor Datu Pax Ali Mangudadatu states there is no evidence of a firearm involved.
Mangudadatu says the noise is likely linked to faulty electrical wiring rather than violence. Both outlets describe the same official position that the incident does not involve an attack, and that authorities are distinguishing the report from a “school shooting” narrative.
While one outlet emphasizes the claim directly as a rejection of the “school shooting” framing, the other presents the statement as part of clarifying rumors tied to earlier security concerns in the broader area. Neither source attributes responsibility for the sound to anyone, and both focus on the governor’s explanation that wiring issues are the likely cause.
