The bombing happened as the entire Mindanao remains under martial law.

“Ang pangako po ng ating Pangulo, ang Mindanao po ay nasa martial law pa rin at gagawin po nating lahat para malaman kung sino ang nasa likod nitong pagbobomba namang ito sa Sultan Kudarat,” Roque said.
“Parurusahan po natin iyan, ipaparamdam po natin sa kanila ang lakas ng ating mga batas at iyong mensahe na hindi pupuwede na hindi napaparusahan iyang mga ganyang mga gawain,” he added.
The Palace official said the latest bombing in Mindano will not affect the Bangsamoro Organic Law, which was signed by President Rodrigo Duterte last month.
“Sa ngayong po we would like to be in good faith to all our partners diyan sa Mindanao, ang importante po talaga ay paganahin iyong sistema ng ating batas ng sa ganoon napaparusahan ang mga lumalabag sa ating mga batas,” he said. /muf
