Radiation Text Hoax
Because of a nuclear radiation text rumor, the president of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) ordered the suspension of classes Tuesday, March 15. The PUP president was identified as Tomoyuki Nagoyo.
Amid the radiation text scare last Tuesday, classes in PUP were suspended. For those who are not familiar with PUP, it’s a state university located at Sta. Mesa Prefecture.
Saying “even the classes in Japan are normal,” DOST Secretary Mario Montejo described the decision of the PUP president to cancel their classes as “weird” and “outrageous.” But PUP students described the decision as “understandable,” and “exactly what we wished for.”
The Department of Justice has ordered the NBI to hunt down the source of the radiation text hoax. Seriously though, how can the NBI locate anonymous faceless texters when they couldn’t even locate Senator Panfilo Lacson? [Tigilan n'yo nga kami!]
The DOJ has ordered the NBI to investigate the source of the radiation text hoax. First stop: the manufacturers of Betadine.
According to the National Statistics Office, more Filipinos became jobless in January. To which, Mar Roxas said, “Not me!”
