Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada will be giving today cash rewards to four employees of the Department of Public Works and Highways and Department of Public Services who found the bomb near the United States Embassy last month.
The Manila City Hall will likewise give awards to four members of the Manila Police District Explosive Ordnance Division who detonated the bomb.
Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the foiled bomb attack.
National Capital Region Police Office chief Dir. Oscar Albayalde said one of the suspects, Mohammad Jumao-as, was part of the terrorist cell of the Al-Khilafah in the Philippines that was based in Bulacan.
“Our target hardening measures, which include intelligence gathering and counterterrorism measures, will strengthen our security efforts,” Albayalde said.
