Wesleyan University-Philippines (WUP) implemented reinforced security measures following a sudden security assessment conducted on July 17, 2025, which disrupted normal operations and prompted a review of campus safety procedures.In a memorandum (Memorandum No. 012, s. 2025) issued by the Office of the Vice President for Administration and Planning on August 11, 2025, the university announced that all persons entering the campus must present a valid ID and submit their belongings for inspection using metal detectors. Security personnel would also conduct under-vehicle inspections for visitors and delivery vehicles.

Vehicle screening procedures required drivers to provide their destination information, with designated entry points at the Main Gate, North Gate, and South Gate, and vehicle exits at the South Gate, Elementary Gate, and North Gate. Pedestrian entry and exit points were at the Main Gate, North Gate, South Gate, Gate 6, and Elementary Gate.

A visitor logbook system was established for non-affiliated individuals, requiring the recording of names, ID numbers, purposes of visit, and times of entry and exit.

For deliveries, drop-off areas were limited to the Main Gate and Administration Building. Couriers would not be permitted to move freely inside campus buildings without authorization and escort. All deliveries would be subjected to inspection, and concessionaires bringing equipment or supplies must record them with the Security Office.

The memorandum also directed that any suspicious activity, unattended object, or perceived threat be reported immediately to the Security Office or security guards on duty.

The university stated that the reinforced protocols aimed to protect the safety and well-being of all members of the academic community.
“Let this incident be a firm reminder of our shared responsibility to remain vigilant. We enjoin everyone to strictly observe these protocols and cooperate with all safety procedures being implemented. The safety of this academic community is our top priority,” Dr. Gladys P. Mangiduyos stressed in her memo.
