CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan — Tension gripped the Malolos regional trial court Wednesday after a prankster warned of bomb threat, prompting the suspension of court activities.
“Meron kaming pasasabugin diyan sa korte,” an anonymous caller warned. The call was received by Judge Basilio Gabo of Malolos RTC, Branch 11.
Taking no chances, Judge Gabo reported the bomb threat to Executive Judge Herminia Pasamba who, after assessing the nature of the caller, decided to suspend all the afternoon court proceedings.
Lawyer Renato “Junâ” Samonte Jr. confirmed the bomb threat.
Bulacan police officer-in-charge Senior Supt. Diosdado Ramos immediately dispatched a bomb squad from the Special Reaction Unit to conduct a bomb search.
Supt. Noli Pacheco, deputy provincial director for operations, said the bomb squad, assisted by bomb-sniffing dogs, found no bomb.
He called on the people from making prank calls because it only disrupts the delivery of public services and creates unnecessary panic to the people.
