Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jonvic Remulla calls on the public to report threats or planned violence in schools through the 911 emergency hotline.

"Ito po ay panawagan ko sa lahat ng mga netizens natin. Kung may makita po kayo na kahit anong threat, or imminent threat, or chatter sa mga group discussions, na mayroong gustong gawing mass shooting or violence to be inflicted, please call 911 and inform (us) right away," according to Remulla

"Basta may makita kayong kahit konti man na babala na meron mangyayaring karumal-dumal, magsabi kayo kaagad. Tumawag kayo sa 911, sabihin n'yo kung ano ang nakita ninyo para maimbestigahan kaagad," he said

The appeal follows the alleged threat at Tolosa National High School in Leyte, which was prevented by authorities. 

According to Remulla, they received information from Senator Bam Aquino regarding a threat to shoot or stab inside the campus. When the CIDG investigated, they discovered that the threat originated from a 14-year-old female student.
