📌IMPORTANT SCHOOL SAFETY ADVISORY‼️
In view of the recent Facebook posts circulating through dummy accounts containing threats and alarming messages about possible shooting incidents in schools, all schools are hereby reminded to exercise extra caution and heightened security measures.
Whether these posts are merely pranks, hoaxes, or otherwise, every threat must be taken seriously and properly addressed to ensure the safety of our learners, teaching and non-teaching personnel.
ALL SCHOOLS are advised to:
✅️Conduct proper and thorough inspection of all individuals entering the school premises, including learners, personnel, visitors, and guests.
✅️Strengthen coordination between PNP, BFP and security guards.
✅️Even if learners have already been inspected by the security guard at the school entrance, bags and belongings should still be checked outside the classroom before students are allowed to enter the room, as an additional precautionary measure.
✅️Monitor and report any suspicious individuals, activities, messages, or social media posts immediately to the school administration and proper authorities.
✅️Remind learners and personnel not to share, repost, or amplify threatening posts unnecessarily. Instead, take a screenshot and report the account or post to the proper authorities for verification and investigation.
✅️Ensure that emergency protocols and evacuation procedures are reviewed and properly communicated to all school personnel and learners.
SAFETY MUST ALWAYS COME FIRST.
We urge everyone to remain calm, vigilant, and responsible. Let us not cause unnecessary panic, but at the same time, let us never disregard any threat—whether it turns out to be a prank or not.
For everyone's safety, all schools are encouraged to remain vigilant and to immediately coordinate with the proper authorities regarding any threat or suspicious activity.
