COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Two fragmentation grenades and a 40 millimeter projectile were recovered near an unfinished children’s park in this city yesterday.

Passersby spotted the explosives only a few meters away from the People’s Palace, where the office of Mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi is located.

Police have yet to determine who left the explosives, which were detonated by Army and police bomb experts.

Sayadi directed barangay officials to help in the investigation.
