Parent threatens Ateneo de Davao professor 'with gun' over child's low grade

The names of the people involved have not been released as of posting. Rappler tried to get a statement from ADDU president Fr Joel Tabora on the incident since Tuesday night.

ADDU issued a statement on Thursday, March 22, to denounce the actions of the parent, saying it will "not be intimidated" by parental bullying and that it will prepare a complaint against the parent, who turned out to be a "public official and lawyer."

Tabora clarified on Thursday that no gun was involved in the incident, but the parent used threatening language against the professor that prompted an official statement to make public ADDU's stand against bullying.

People privy to the incident said that the parent was accompanied by “bodyguards,” and reportedly asked one of them to stand beside the professor during the confrontation. The bodyguard reportedly held a clutch bag that appeared to bear a gun, prompting university personnel to alert campus security about what was happening.
