The threats were made by a netizen, who used the name Vamir Muhhamad on Facebook.

Police are verifying the identity of the netizen.

A week ago, seven government offices and two schools in Metro Manila, Bataan and Zambales received similar threats.

The threats were reportedly sent through e-mails by a Japanese lawyer.

Investigation showed the threats were directed to the Pacita 1 Elementary School, Landayan Elementary School, Pacita National High School and Chrysanthemum Elementary School in Barangay Pacita 1.

Barangay officials called the city police at around 8 a.m. to report the threats.
