A bomb threat posted on the official Facebook page of Kapuso Village Integrated School in Tacloban City leads to the evacuation of more than 1,000 students and staff on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, authorities reported. The threat is detected at about 12:20 p.m., prompting the school to activate emergency response procedures and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to dispatch personnel, including bomb disposal experts. Firefighters, disaster response units, and local government officials also join the response as the campus is cleared and searched.
After the PNP Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team completes its assessment, officials declare the threat a hoax. Schools Division Superintendent Sherlita Palma states the incident ends without injuries, casualties, or reported property damage. The evacuation concludes once the campus is declared safe.
