Sultan Kudarat bomb blast kills 1, injures 11

By Al Jacinto 


ZAMBOANGA CITY: A powerful bomb explosion ripped through a passenger bus on Sunday, November 6, and killed one civilian and injured at least 11 others in Tacurong City in the southern Philippine province of Sultan Kudarat.


The air-conditioned bus, owned and operated by Yellow Bus Line, came from Kidapawan City in North Cotabato province, and was carrying dozens of passengers when the bomb went off.


No individual or group has claimed responsibility for the midday blast in downtown Tacurong, but previous attacks had been largely blamed on local pro-Islamic State extremist groups.


It was unclear how the bomber was able to sneak the improvised explosive in the bus or what type of device was used in the attack.

In May this year, a bomb also exploded inside a Yellow Bus Line unit in downtown Koronadal City in South Cotabato province and injured at least two persons.

The improvised explosive went off at the engine bay of the bus.


Two drivers of motorcycle taxis tailing the bus were injured in the explosion.


The bus originated from Tacurong City in Sultan Kudarat province.


No group had claimed responsibility for that attack, even after a bomb explosion in April also ripped through another provincial bus owned by Rural Transit of Mindanao in Parang town in Maguindanao province and wounded several passengers.


The attack happened in the village of Making where the bus made a stop at a roadside eatery.


The bus was on its way to Dipolog City in Zamboanga del Norte from Cotabato City when a powerful explosion was heard.


In January, a bomb also exploded near a fruit stand and a ticket booth in North Cotabato's Tulunan town where a Yellow Bus Line was picking up passengers.


The powerful blast killed a civilian and wounded 7 others.


The blast came a day after pro-Islamic State terrorists detonated a roadside bomb in the town of South Upi in neighboring Maguindanao and killed one civilian.


The military blamed the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters for the bombing.


Maguindanao has been divided into the provinces of Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur.

No Disease Outbreak in South Cotabato

With Allen V. Estabillo, MindaNews

I must confess, I feel better. Most all places in South Cotabato belong to my favourite destinations, since I am living in Mindanao for good.

Efforts to free this province of major animals diseases have continued to gain ground after the area sustained its clean record during the first six months of the year in terms of animal disease outbreaks.

Dr. Lorna Lamorena, South Cotabato provincial veterinarian , said last week they have not recorded a single animal disease outbreak from January to June this year in any part of the province's ten towns and lone city. The area was spared of disease outbreaks in the entire 2012.

Surra disease, for example, which is a parasitic disease that affects various farm animals, emerged within areas bordering South Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat provinces, is a hemorrhagic disease transmitted by a bloodsucking fly and caused by a protozoan parasite. This terrible disease affects horses, dogs, cattle, caraboes and swine.

In terms of deadly rabies virus, Lamorena said they recorded just three cases of confirmed dog infections but none of them involved humans... .
