Samar State University Mercedes

21/08/2026

𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐘 | The Office of the President of Samar State University issued an advisory yesterday, August 20, 2026, that regular operations will continue across both the Main and Mercedes campuses on Monday, August 24, despite the city's fiesta celebration.

The Office of the University President clarified that Executive Order No. 08-003, s. 2026—issued by the City Mayor of Catbalogan, Hon. Dexter Uy—only suspends the work of the offices of the City Government. National government agencies and higher education institutions like Samar State University are to follow measures based on their operational needs and agency policies.

Classes will be conducted through a flexible asynchronous learning modality to support students' safety and commute due to the city-wide celebration. Faculty members are to ensure deadlines for academic requirements will not be scheduled on the same day and grant students reasonable extensions past August 24 for submissions.

𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐘 | Samar State University (SSU) has reiterated its campus security protocols and zero-tolerance policy against bomb jokes, hoaxes, and threats of violence, reminding all students and personnel that campus safety remains a top priority.

The university emphasized that false threats or jokes involving bombs, explosives, or violence are considered criminal offenses under Presidential Decree No. 1727. Members of the SSU community are strictly advised to refrain from making, posting, or sharing such statements, whether intended as jokes or otherwise.

Meanwhile, students, faculty, personnel, and visitors are urged to immediately report any threats to the appropriate university authorities. The university also reminded everyone not to share unverified information or screenshots of threats online, as spreading misinformation may cause unnecessary fear and panic.

SSU assures the community that all reported threats will be taken seriously and investigated immediately. Everyone is encouraged to remain vigilant and cooperate with campus security personnel in maintaining a safe and secure university environment.
