The Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters were suspected by Philippine authorities to be behind the bombings. Extortion is viewed as a motive for the attacks due to claims that the bus company has faced threats for refusing to pay protection money to the militants. The militant group denies any involvement claiming they would not gain any benefit from conducting such attacks and claims the accusations against them as fabrication.
