An escort of the mayor’s sibling, City Administrator Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi, who was riding separate motorcycles, were killed in the blast, which also injured some 30 others, some of them children who were on their way home from school.
Initial reports said the explosion came from a parked multi-cab vehicle in front of the Villa Funeral Parlor along the highway. Investigators said the bomb was likely set off from a distance as the car and escorts of Cotabato City Mayor Japal Guiani Jr. were passing by.
A television report said the blast destroyed five vehicles while fire has already spread to several houses.
