President’s Corner

Message from the Office of the President

Dear ISUFST community,

In recent days, several schools in Iloilo have faced bomb hoaxes shared through anonymous and malicious posts or messages. These have created fear, halted classes, and caused real worry for students, teachers, parents, and responders. We stand with these schools and pray for their safety.

At ISUFST, we sincerely thank everyone for staying vigilant and responsible. Your quick reporting and care for one another help keep our campus safe. This is a shared responsibility we carry together.

As a university community, we join the rest of Iloilo in saying:

These bomb hoaxes must stop.

False threats are not harmless. They endanger lives, disrupt education, and create trauma—especially among young learners. And while some online users may believe anonymity protects them, social media threats can be traced through cyber warrants, international coordination with Facebook’s servers, digital forensics, and the efforts of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, NBI, and DOJ.

Message from the Office of the President

Dear ISUFST community,

As a university community, we join the rest of Iloilo in saying:

These bomb hoaxes must stop.

These actions carry serious legal consequences:

· PD 1727 (Anti–Bomb Threat Law) — Up to 5 years imprisonment

· RA 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act) — Up to 12 years imprisonment

· RA 11479 (Anti-Terrorism Act) — Up to life imprisonment for terrorism-related incidents

We share these facts not to frighten, but to protect our young people and remind everyone that online actions have real-world impact.

To safeguard our campuses and surrounding communities, we encourage everyone to:

· Avoid sharing or amplifying unverified threats

· Report suspicious posts or behaviors immediately

· Stay calm, observant, and supportive of one another

· Speak responsibly online and offline

The Office of the President assures the public that ISUFST is working closely with authorities, partner institutions, and our internal security teams to maintain safety across all campuses.

Padayon sa pagmat-anay kag pag-atipanay.

Together, we keep our community safe.

Together, we stand for peace, responsibility, and genuine care.
