MANILA, Philippines — Silliman University in Dumaguete City suspended classes on Friday afternoon over a bomb threat reported by an alleged alumnus of the university.

In an advisory, Silliman University asked members of the school community to refrain from entering the campus until police have cleared the area, a standard procedure for bomb threats.


In the same advisory, Silliman said that it had received information "from a certain Nelson Tan claiming to be an SU alumnus and at the same time a member of the New People's Army" that a bomb might go off on school grounds.

"In view of this information, the Crisis Management Team of the university was convened and coordinated with the Philippine National Police," Silliman Univeristy said. It said it also activated its security proticils and issued an advisory to suspend classes, work and other activities so university security and the PNP could check the area.
