Bombs away

Two bombs went off in Koronadal City Friday afternoon. A protestant pastor was killed while 10 others were injured. So when will the authorities in Koronadal City ever learn from this? It appears that they (security) are very lax, since then.  What are they waiting for, US troops to assist them in implementing security measures? This is not the first time that the Why can’t they do the same measures as what the authorities are doing in Davao City? I think it’s just a matter of “political will” from the city government officials.

The bombing was not the first time. In fact,this the third time in less than a month. Why are these things happening in Koronadal?

Bus firm suspends operation after Koronadal bomb blasts

KORONADAL CITY — The management of the Yellow Bus Line (YBL) suspended operations starting Saturday after two bombs ripped through its crowded terminal on Friday and killed a Protestant pastor and hurt 12 others. Ramon Buriel, YBL’s chief of security, said the management will only resume its operation once they reach an agreement with police and military regarding security arrangements. Unlike in Tacurong City and Isulan town where the military provides agents in our buses, we have problems in other depot, like in Polomolok, Tupi and General Santos,” Buriel said.
