“So far there haven’t had security problems reported by students, thanks to the intervention of a military institution, we were able to safeguard students,” said the delegate of the Military Forces Joint Command Chief, Col. Omar Carpio.

According to police reports, some students had health problems but they received medical attention immediately and even, depending on the case, some of them were taken home.
