Deloso said the suspect, whose name is yet to be determined, pretended to be a customer at the Kyla’s Bistro. He ordered a bottle of beer there, and went to the comfort room, Deloso said.
Earlier reports had it that the explosive device was concealed in a black bag on a black monoblock chair outside Kyla’s.
“May witness tayo na maganda ang visual site doon sa suspect (We have a witness who had a good view of the suspect),” Deloso said.
