The Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) has issued a stern warning against students making bomb threats, clarifying that even jokes will not be tolerated. Students found making such threats, regardless of intent, will be prohibited from re-enrolling in the following school year. This policy aims to address growing concerns over school safety and disruption caused by false alarms. DepEd officials emphasized the seriousness of bomb threats, highlighting the fear and panic they induce, as well as the resources wasted on investigations. The department stressed that legal action may also be pursued alongside the enrollment ban. This new directive reinforces the need for responsible online and offline behavior among students concerning school security. The aim is to ensure a safe learning environment for all.
