2 dead, 2 hurt in Cagayan de Oro bomb blast

From InterAksyon (Oct 11): 2 dead, 2 hurt in Cagayan de Oro bomb blast

Two civilians were killed and two policemen wounded when an improvised explosive device went off near a hotel in Cagayan de Oro City early Thursday morning, the city police chief said. Senior Superintendent Gerardo Rosales said that at 1:50 a.m., the Maxandrea Hotel phoned police to report that three unidentified suspects had left what was suspected to be a bomb outside the establishment. Policemen responding to the call were conducting a “visual inspection” when the bomb exploded, killing Rudy Jote, an employee of the Willshire Inn, and a certain “Toto,” a transport vehicle dispatcher. Police Officers 1 Rogelio Canilanza and Dexter Dano were hit in the legs and back by shrapnel. The Maxandrea Hotel is located at the corner of J.R. Borja and Aguinaldo Streets in what its website describes as one of the city's "busiest districts." Rosales said they have yet to determine the motive for the bombing.
