According to ABS-CBN News the driver of the said congressman who had survived states that the said explosion happened not in the congressman's car but instead on the lobby of the South Wing of the Batasan Pambansa. He states that if it the explosion occurred in the congressman's car he shouldn't have been there to testify what had happened.

The congressman's death was announced by a family friend, Sandra Cam, whom she was speaking to on the phone prior the said explosion. She states that she had heard the explsion and rushed over to the hospital where the said congressman was rushed to.

Apart from these, another congressman's driver had died on the spot due to the said explosion, while other staffs of the congressmen who were injured were rushed to the hospitals for medical treatment, with which one of the victims was still on a critical condition, while another staff of Congressman Akbar will have his left leg amputated due to the severity of the damage done by the explosion.

Up to now it's still uncertain whether the said explosion was related to the Glorietta 2 Explosion, or the said explosion was done due divert attention to the revised impeachment complaint against the incumbent president, or it was due to terroristic acts, more so whether the said explosion was only directed towards the said congressman who had passed away. However, one thing is for certain that if the center of power of the Philippines in not safe, every place in the said country more so is not safe.
