MANILA — Vice President Sara Duterte on Sunday urged vigilance to thwart a possible further attack on civilians as she condemned the explosion that hit a university gymnasium in Marawi, Lanao del Sur, that killed at least four people.&quot;Nakikiramay po ako sa mga pamilya ng mga biktima ng pagsabog ng bomba sa loob ng Mindanao State University sa Marawi City nitong araw ng Linggo,&quot; Duterte said in a statement.&quot;Kasabay nito ay ang ating mahigpit na pagkondena na nangyaring pagpapasabog at sa mga tao o grupo na nasa likod nito.&quot;While urging residents to be alert after the explosion, Duterte also called for calm as authorities investigate what she described as a brazen yet cowardly act of violence.The blast, which also injured scores of individuals, happened while the victims were attending a Catholic Mass. Authorities have yet to determine the motive or identify what explosive was used.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/03/23/at-least-4-killed-as-explosion-rocks-msu-marawi-campus">At least 4 killed after explosion rocks Mindanao State University in Marawi</a></li></ul>&quot;Ang mga nasawi at mga sugatan ay mga sibilyan.
