Initial investigation showed that an improvised explosive device (IED) went off shortly past 2 p.m. inside a D'Biel Transit unit. The bus came from Labuan, a village 38 kilometers away from the town proper.
Vice Mayor Cesar Ituralde said the motive behind might have been extortion after the bus company had been receiving extortion letters from a still unidentified group.
The police and National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) operatives were looking at a CCTV footage showing an individual acting suspiciously near the crime scene minutes before the explosion.
