Type of Explosive Employed
The Philippine National Police identified the bombs as one-kilogram blackpowder bombs, set to detonate using timing devices.
In addition, confessions by the convicted perpetrators describe the bombs as ammonium nitrate-based explosives. Most of the components of the bombs such as blasting caps and detonating cords were discovered to have come from the city of Talisay in the southern province of Cebu. The town itself is known for the production of blasting caps used in illegal fishing.

Swearing of the former variety is from the lips only, but the latter is from the heart. Damn it! is not that same as Damn you!”
