MANILA: A homemade bomb detonated near the entrance of the Philippine justice ministry early on Monday, officials said, hours before a suspected unexploded device was found near the country’s Senate.
The explosion just after midnight, which resulted in no casualties, and the discovery of the second suspected bomb came hours before Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos was due to give an annual State of the Nation address.
