Bomb goes off in Midsayap

An improvised explosive device went off in Barangay Nes, Midsayap, North Cotabato around 9 p.m. Sunday, the second blast that hit the town this month, police said.

No one was injured or killed in the blast, the police said.

Midsayap police chief Supt. Reinante Delos Santos, in a phone interview, said the bomb exploded in front of a sari-sari store owned by Jeffrey Fontanilla, damaging its roof and concrete wall.

Police investigation showed that before the explosion two unidentified men bought cigarettes and candies at the store and left on board a motorcycle towards the national highway.

The Army’s 66th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Division said the bomb was made of a 60 mm mortar and a mobile phone was used as the triggering device.

No one has claimed responsibility for the incident.

On August 7, 2013, a bomb also exploded in front of a pawnshop in Midsayap. No one was injured in the blast.

Aside from the latest blast in Midsayap, at least five other explosions have rocked parts of Mindanao since late last month.

Eight persons were killed and 46 others were injured in the Cagayan de Oro City blast in a resto-bar in Rosario Arcade, Limketkai Center on July 26.

Another eight people were killed and 30 were injured in Cotabato City on August 5 in a bombing that apparently targeted city administrator Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi.

Seven soldiers were injured in Shariff Saydona Mustapha town in Maguindanao on August 7. There were no reported casualties in the explosion of improvised bombs in Midsayap, North Cotabato and Datu Piang in Maguindanao on August 7.

Fast Towards Heaven

While “Fast Towards Heaven” is definitely the most musically-upbeat tune on the EP, it focuses lyrically on a hard-to-swallow realization: that there are some old attachments that you can never fully move on from, as hard as you might try – that first love that you never really forgot; that grudge you never gave up; the parts of your old teenage self that you cover up like a shameful bruise. It’s those things you’re most afraid of revealing to other people that often say much more about you than anything you might willingly tell. “Fast Towards Heaven” is about being, unwittingly and unwillingly, under the magnetic hold of those strong past affections and memories long after you thought they had vanished.

Safe

“Safe” is an elegy to a past self, to the teenage years when you shed previous versions of your identity with frightening frequency in an attempt to outrun the impending stasis of adulthood, as if once you leave high school you’ll harden into the person that you’ll have to be for the rest of your life, whether you like it or not. If you’re a bookish nerd one day, there’s little preventing you from reinventing yourself into something else the next. This is mostly just adolescent exploration without long-term consequence, and while most of those changes are harmless, some are not. “Safe” is a song about coming to painful grips with the things you’ve changed about yourself that you can’t erase.
