Escalante National High School in Escalante City, Negros Occidental shifts to remote learning on Monday following a reported threat of a school shooting that circulated on social media. The move follows concerns raised by students, parents, and school officials after posts and related screenshots alleging a shooting plot spread online. School officials convene an emergency meeting with representatives from the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to decide on immediate measures to protect students and staff. The Police Regional Office–Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR) reports that the Escalante City Police Station is investigating the screenshots and the private chat content that appear to have circulated and prompted the safety response. The shift to remote learning is intended as a precaution while authorities assess the credibility and origin of the alleged threat and determine any next steps.
