From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 12): Bomb attempt in Cotabato City foiled

Police bomb experts successfully discharged a homemade bomb found around 2:00 p.m. Monday along Pansacala Extension, Barangay Rosary Heights Mother here.

Alert residents reported the bomb, rigged from a 60 mm mortar explosive with timing device, following its discovery near the road.

The area was immediately sealed off and electric power was temporarily shutdown as cops moved residents to a safe distance prior to the bomb detonation procedure.

A short, loud blast and power was immediately restored after the bomb was properly disposed.

The bombing attempt came as the Commission on Elections officially declared Oct. 12 as the start of the filing of Certificates of Candidacy for political aspirants in connection with the 2016 national and local polls.
