Southern Luzon Command (SOLCOM) units were deployed in
Cataingan, Masbate after four successive explosions were recorded near the Divisoria Elementary School
In a statement Saturday, SOLCOM spokesperson Lt. Col. Angelo
Guzman said the blasts took place 9:30 a.m.
The incidents were reported to authorities by Barangay
Divisoria chair Junrey Alcaraz.
Initial investigations conducted by the Cataingan Municipal
Police Station indicated that two of the four explosions happened at 50 meters
and 150 meters distance, respectively, from the school where vote counting
machines (VCMs) and other election paraphernalia were stored.
No casualty or damage to property were recorded. Moreover,
the VCMs and other election paraphernalia were intact and secured.
Guzman said the police were now conducting further
investigations on the incidents.
The SOLCOM has directed all soldiers deployed on election
duties to be more vigilant and to ensure that the periphery of voting centers
are clear of IEDs for the safety of all voters and board of election inspectors.
