BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — An online threat against students of the E.B. Magalona National High School in Negros Occidental prompted local officials to cancel classes yesterday.

Mayor Matthew Louis Malacon said the threat was posted on Facebook.

Aside from the high school, the local government also canceled classes at the E.B. Magalona Elementary School to ensure the safety of students and teachers.

Malacon urged residents to remain calm as authorities are looking into the matter.
