Pilar College of Zamboanga City, Inc., would like to inform the public that earlier today the school received information regarding a possible security threat involving the school premises.

Upon receiving the report, the school administration immediately activated its established safety and emergency protocols. All students, faculty, and staff were promptly and safely evacuated to the designated evacuation area while the appropriate authorities were notified.

Responding personnel conducted a thorough inspection of the school premises, including the deployment of the Bomb Squad Team and K9 Unit. Following the assessment, authorities confirmed that no explosive device or related threat was found, and the campus was subsequently declared safe and cleared.

As a precautionary measure and in consideration of the well-being of our students, the school administration decided to allow students to return home after the evacuation.

The school administration extends its sincere gratitude to PS 11 Chief Officer-in-Charge PCPT Ariel Cabanlong, the Zamboanga Bomb Squad Team, the K9 Unit, and all other responding agencies for their swift response, professionalism, and commitment to ensuring the safety of our school community.

We also thank our faculty, staff, students, and parents for their cooperation, calmness, and understanding during the situation.

Pilar College remains committed to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment. The safety of our students and personnel will always remain our highest priority.

Regular classes will resume tomorrow, March 17, 2026 as scheduled.
