11 June 2006 MANILA - Three separate but almost simultaneous bomb explosions rocked the Philippines on Sunday, killing one person and injuring at least four others, police said. The first explosion struck a public market in Lipa City in Batangas province, 120 kilometres south of Manila, just before dawn, according to a police report. One person was killed and at least four others were injured, according to the report. About 40 minutes later, a "low-explosive device" ripped through a police bus parked at a terminal in Manila's suburban city of Quezon. "The right side of the bus bore a hole with approximately two feet in diameter, but there were no injuries," an initial police report said. At about the same time, a third explosion was reported at a public park in downtown Manila. No one was injured, and damages were minimal, according to witnesses. It was not yet clear if the three attacks were related, and no group has claimed responsibility for them. Director Vidal Querol, head of Manila police force, appealed for calm amid bomb scares following the blasts. "Let us not cower in fear because these people who have planted these explosives hope that they would be able to turn away people and ruin our economy," he said. Last week, two small bomb attacks in Manila's financial district of Makati and Lubao town in Pampanga province was claimed by a shadowy group calling for President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's ouster. The attacks occurred amid heightened security ahead of a huge planned rally on Monday, Independence Day, to protest efforts to amend the constitution. Other protests are also planned to again call for Arroyo's resignation over allegations she cheated in the May 2004 presidential elections. Querol vowed that police would be on the highest alert for Monday's activities. Arroyo, who has been hounded by resignation calls since June 2005, has vowed not to quit, but promised to step down as soon as her term expires in 2010.
