Police were considering all motives for the attack, including terrorism and destabilization, he said. “We cannot make any conclusion yet. Our special investigation task force is still working, processing evidence gathered on the site,” Bartolome added. The driver, who survived the attack unscathed, said at least two men who acted strangely quickly got off the bus just moments before the explosion, according to the report. "They were moving from one seat to another although we had no idea there was an explosive aboard," the driver, Maximo Peligro, told reporters. "It could not have been mechanical... it was very strong." The secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Jesse Robredo has placed Metro Manila and the rest of the country on red alert following the explosion. The entire 136,000-strong Philippine National Police force was placed on full alert status nationwide effective 5 p.m. Tuesday. All seaports, airports and the railway transport system were also on a full alert. Philippine president Noynoy Aquino, who visited the injured victims at the St. Luke's Hospital in Taguig where they are being treated, has expressed condolences to the families of the victims.
