A dozen homemade bombs were found separately in North Cotabato over the last couple of days.
The other night, a homemade bomb was found in front of the Video K Hauz in Barangay Poblacion in the town of Pikit.
The bomb was made from a 60-millimeter mortar, a 9-volt battery, and a cellphone triggering device, said Pikit chief of police Inspector Pangandian Mautin.
Residents quickly told the police about the bomb, which was de-fused by the explosives and ordnance team.
On Wednesday, another homemade bomb was found in Barangay Labujo, President Roxas at past 4 p.m.
It was found by a bridge near a police station that was recently attacked, 57th IB Commanding Officer Col. Nilo Vinluan said.
The bomb was made of PVC pipe, cut-up steel, with nails and gunpowder.
Vinluan believes this was made by New People’s Army rebels.
Last week, three homemade bombs were also found in Pikit. Police believed all three were planted by the same group.
Also last week, seven more homemade bombs were found in the towns of Makilala and President Roxas.
