MIDSAYAP, North Cotabato (MindaNews/07 August) – The municipal board here passed a resolution imposing a curfew, hours after an improvised bomb exploded in front of a business establishment here at dawn. No one was injured in the blast.
The Sangguniang Bayan chaired by Vice Mayor Luis Albert Garduque on Wednesday afternoon passed Resolution 2013-053 directing the Midsayap Police Station, the Office of the Municipal Social Services Division and all barangay councils to impose, effective immediately, curfew hours from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for minors and from 12 midnight to 5 a.m. for business establishments here.
