Bohol Rep. Roberto "Bob" Cajes escaped death after he was able to leave the premises of the House of Representatives barely eight minutes before the bomb blast explosion last night.
He told the Chronicle that he passed by at the lobby of the South Wing where Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar was standing when the explosion happened.
"I was already inside my car when I heard the loud explosion," he narrated while saying he was definite that the explosion happened in Congress. He was barely a block away from Congress when the explosion happened.
He received the first hand information about the explosion when he received a call through his cellular phone from a ranking official of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) while he was cruising the highway near Congress past 8 o'clock last night.
Cajes is the only Boholano solon occupying office at the South Wing as both, Rep. Edgar Chatto and Rep. Adam Jala's separate offices are at the North Wing.
Chatto was at the St. Luke Hospital, when interviewed by the Chronicle last night, together with Rep. George Arnaiz of Negros Oriental who was monitoring the medical bulletin of Rep. Henry Tevez, who was also seriously wounded.
Rep. Chatto, who was interviewed during DYRD's top rated "Tagbilaran-By-Nite" up to 11 o'clock last night provided radio listeners an up-to-the-minute account on the medical condition of Rep. Tevez live from the hospital.
Rep. Jala is in China together with other young elected officials.
