Social Media Warnings
University Memo: 2026-2027-033
14 September 2026
To: The University Community
From: (SGD) Fr. Aristotle C. Dy, SJ, President
-----
In the early evening today, reports reached the University leadership about two alarming online posts today, September 14, made from a dummy account and subsequently reposted by other dummy accounts. The first, posted in the morning, showed the image of a gun and warned the Junior High School community to “be prepared.” Later in the day, the same image was posted again with the text, “maybe not today but tomorrow lol.”
The university has reported the posts to the authorities, and the matter will be investigated under cybercrime laws. Threats to the safety of the community, whether made casually or otherwise, will not be taken lightly. They will be dealt with seriously and in accordance with all relevant laws and school rules.
Nevertheless, school operations must continue with increased vigilance in our security protocols. As you know, we have already put several measures in place since last month in response to the recent incidents of gun violence in schools across the country. Classes and office operations will proceed as usual tomorrow, September 15, following the established schedule of all units and offices. We ask everyone to remain calm, alert, and cooperative as we continue to safeguard our community.
Please be guided accordingly, and let us each do our part to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
We invoke the prayers of Our Lady of Peñafrancia upon our community.
Thank you very much.
