20 injured in Manila suburb blast

"A PILLBOX exploded late Monday in front of a convenience store in a southern suburb of Manila, injuring at least 20 people, one seriously.

Senior police officer Mario Obog said a salesgirl at the convenience store in Muntilupa city's Alabang district called police for help about some people fighting, then minutes later said an explosive went off in front of the store...
Details of the incident were not immediately available, but Obog said initial reports indicated the explosion was not linked to terrorism...."
Ummm... Journalism 101.

What's the name of the store?
Where exactly did the incident take place?
Where exactly is the store?
The article mentioned about a flea market. Is the store in a flea market?
Flea Market was written as flee market. Was the story proof read before publication?
What school did the reporter go to?
Is this really the Inquirer?

Oh wait... "Details of the incident were not immediately available". At least they got that right...
