π« NO BOMB THREATS. NO BOMB JOKES. π«
Pao National High School reminds all learners, parents, and stakeholders that bomb threats and bomb jokes are serious offenses that endanger lives, disrupt education, and waste valuable emergency resources.
Under Presidential Decree No. 1727, making or spreading a false bomb threat or bomb joke is against the law and may result in criminal prosecution, including arrest, imprisonment, and fines.
In addition, DepEd Order No. 006, s. 2026 classifies bomb threats and bomb jokes as Third-Level (Grave) Offenses. Learners found responsible may face the following disciplinary sanctions:
π΄ First Offense
β’ Non-Readmission to the school for the succeeding school year (the learner may complete the current school year but cannot re-enroll in the same school).
β’ Referral to the appropriate authorities, including law enforcement and social welfare agencies, for proper investigation and intervention.
π΄ Second Offense
β’ Exclusion from the school.
β’ Continued referral to the appropriate authorities for necessary legal and protective actions.
Every word matters. A prank, rumor, social media post, text message, or casual remark about a bomb can trigger emergency responses, create fear and panic, interrupt classes, and put lives at risk.
Let us all think before we speak, post, or share information. Together, we can foster a safe, secure, and conducive learning environment for everyone.
Safe Schools Begin with Responsible Learners.
