Flash Report: Bomb Explosion at the House of Representatives

The House of Representative was rocked by a bomb explosion this evening around 8pm Manila time. The reports said, three Congressmen were injured in the incident, 9 others and 1 dead.

One of the Congressmen said, they were having dinner with colleagues at the South Lounge, when they heard the explosion around 10 minutes after session adjourned at exactly 8:07 p.m. The blast came from a van parked on the driveway of the south wing of the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City, where the House holds session, one of the staffs said. The explosion triggered a fire and caused the ceiling of the foyer to collapse. Twisted steel and debris were scattered at the blast site.

According to the reports, Congressman Tevez was also injured and the latter was brought to a nearby hospital. Gabriela Representative Luz Ilagan, her driver, and the driver of Gabriela Representative Liza Maza were also wounded and taken to the Malvar Hospital, Maza said.

Speaker De Venecia during the interview, the explosion was definitely not caused by a grenade, it’s a bomb. It was certain, it’s an act of terrorism. Someone’s trying to scare the Congress.
