      • ABS-CBN does not have an official countdown activity for New Year's Eve yet?
        They usually cover the different New Year's eve celebrations. I'm still waiting for confirmation from anybody from ABS-CBN, but they seem to be ignoring my inquiry. :(
      Let me know in the comments section if there is a New Year's Eve Party that I missed that's worth checking out in Manila.

      Bomb on Kenya-to-Uganda bus kills 1

      (CNN) -- An explosion that ripped through a Uganda-bound bus in Kenya on Monday killed one person and injured 26 others, a Kenyan police spokesman said, crediting security guards with potentially preventing even more carnage.
      The guards confronted six people who seemed to be ordinary passengers as they tried to board the bus about 7 p.m. in Nairobi, Kenyan national police spokesman Eric Kiraithe said.
      The passengers resisted the guards' attempt to examine their luggage. As the altercation heated up, the assailants dropped their bags and ran away -- and soon after, some of the luggage exploded, according to Kiraithe.
      Kenyan police said that no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, nor do they know the motive. Kiraithe said the blast was most likely caused by a grenade or improvised explosive device, though investigators are still working to get more details.
      The bus was owned by Kampala Coach, a passenger and delivery company named after Uganda's largest and capital city. Kiraithe said Kenyans and Ugandans frequently travel between the two countries on business.
