ILOILO CITY – Court hearings and offices at the Ramon Q. Avanceña Hall of Justice here were disrupted yesterday because of a bomb threat, the second in five days.

Hundreds of court employees, judges and lawyers evacuated from the five-story building around 9 a.m. after an unidentified caller warned that two bombs were set to explode there, a report of the Police Precinct 1 of the Iloilo City Police Office said.

The male caller, who spoke in Filipino, told Jerry Aquiña, an employee of the Regional Trial Court Branch 3, that the bombs were placed in the second floor.
