   A  powerful  explosion  has  killed  at  least  two people and injured
   several others on board a passenger bus in the Philippines.
   Metro  Manila  police  chief  Nicanor  Bartolome  said Tuesday that an
   explosive device appeared to have been placed beneath a passenger seat
   in the center of the bus.
   The blast, which was powerful enough to damage a nearby concrete wall,
   occurred not far from Manila's Makati business district.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
