"Why are the country’s political leaders quick to act on amending the Constitution to change nationalistic provisions for the benefit of foreigners or to extend their terms of office but are allergic to amending the Constitution to address the people’s aspirations for self-determination?" - Marvic Leonen,Dean of the UP College of Law, in a keynote address delivered at the 1st International Solidarity Conference on Mindanao; March 16-18, 2009 in Davao City, Philippines.

Blasts rock Cotabato bus terminal

COTABATO CITY, Philippines--Two grenade explosions rocked a Cotabato City bus terminal on Christmas Day, police officials said Thursday.

Senior Superintendent Willie Dangane, Cotabato City police chief, said that at around 8:15 p.m., a still unidentified man onboard a motorcycle hurled two grenades at the Husky Bus Terminal located at Barangay (village) Tamontaka.

The explosion "slightly damaged" three buses but no one was reported injured in the incident, Dangane said.

The suspect, meanwhile, immediately fled in the direction of Datu Odin Sinsuat in Shariff Kabunsuan.

Revenge is being eyed as a possible motive according to Chief Superintendent Felizardo Serapio. An initial investigation revealed that a number of guards were terminated by the company this month. (By Abigail Kwok, Jeoffrey Maitem
