It was learned from Molo Police that two groups of students already had a fight while inside the campus, but during lunch break, the squabble lingered.

One of the students suffered a minor injury, while the other was taken to the hospital. Three other students were taken into police custody and are set to be turned over to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).

Molo Police are still investigating on the motive of the stabbing incident, as of this writing. 

As of posting time, the school has not issued a statement yet.

In a report of GMA Super Radyo Iloilo, a case conference will be facilitated by the CSWDO on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

In an interview by Sevein Hope Gegantoca with Leonore Enriquez of CSWDO, the parents of the students involved in the incident will be summoned for a meeting with the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children, the Philippine National Police, officials from the Department of Education, and the school administration.
