The text message from an unknown number sent to a faculty member showed a bomb was planted in the campus at around 9:00 a.m.
"May mga bomba na naitanim sa loob ng pamantasan pwede itong sumabog kahit anong oras ngayong umaga," the text message read.
According to Bert Tuga, Vice President for Finance and Administration of PNU, they did not issue class and work suspensions but they advised their students to move in the university's quadrangle to avoid panic.
No explosives were found after a paneling operation conducted by Manila Police District’s (MPD) Explosive and Ordinance Division (EOD) at around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday.
