MISAMIS Occidental Gov. Henry Oaminal and two of his security escorts survived a bomb attack in Bgy. Lapasan in Clarin town, the military on Thursday said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief Maj. Gen. Steve Crespillo said the governor was on his way home to Ozamiz City from a meeting when an improvised explosive device went off in Bgy. Lapasan, Clarin municipality at 11 p.m on Sunday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The improvised explosive device hit the second car in Oaminal\u2019s four-vehicle convoy. The governor was in the vehicle that was struck.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Salamat sa Ginoo na walay na-injure, walay na-sakitan (Thank God no one was injured or hurt),” Oaminal said in a video posted on his Facebook page after the bombing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crespillo said Oaminal and his two police escorts were unharmed, but the window on the driver\u2019s side of their vehicle was shattered. The door bore bullet holes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The military official strongly condemned the attack as he appealed to the public to remain calm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crespillo assured that they are conducting combat and non-combat operations to ensure the security of residents.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Northern Mindanao Police directed all its cops to conduct checkpoint and dragnet operations to arrest the suspects.<\/p>\n
