The bombing happened around 5:30 pm Tuesday several meters away from the Central Mindanao University main gate in Barangay Dologon. Students from CMU and nearby public high schools had just boarded Rural Transit Bus, with body number 2640, when a bomb exploded inside few seconds after taking off.The bus came from Wao, Bukidnon and was bound for Cagayan de Oro City.Ten people were dead before they could reach Lavina General Hospital in Valencia City.
Forty-two other passengers were injured and were rushed to the Adventist Medical Center in Valencia and Lavina Hospital.
Students and teachers held a community prayer at the CMU gates on Wednesday, while others expressed their messages of condolences and call for justice through social media, including in the Facebook account for CMU students.The CMU female student also said the explosion could be heard inside the campus, as she was staying in her dormitory some 200 meters away from the main gate.
In investigation the authorities are determining if the bomb attack was linked to a previous bomb explosion of another Rural Transit bus last November 6 also in Barangay Dologon, Maramag that injured four persons. And they found out that the MILF has worked out with the government peace panel for the Bangsamoro Basic Law as the basis for the Bangsamoro autonomous region, which is now being deliberated in Congress.And the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters belied military reports that they have plans to bomb public places.
We pray for the people who died in this accident thay they may rest in peace !
