Soldier dies in Bacolod blast

From ABS-CBN (May 20): Soldier dies in Bacolod blast

A soldier died while another one was wounded in an accidental explosion in Barangay Estefania in this city on Tuesday afternoon.

Technical Sergeant Joven Maravilla died after a suspected grenade exploded while they were at a shop located at the back of the advanced command post of the army's 303rd Infantry Brigade.

Maravilla's companion and fellow bomb expert, Corporal Erlwin Trases, is in critical condition.

Police and military investigators are still determining how the explosion occurred.

''We cannot say kung ano yung ginagawa nila. But they were there in the shop and silang dalawa lang yung nandun. We cannot even determine kung ano yung sumabog,'' said 303rd IB commander Brigadier General Jon Aying.
