The blast in Davao city was apparently meant to strike an army camp but the grenade bounced off netting and landed inside an adjacent basketball gym where a circus was being held on Saturday, police said.
"It bounced when it hit a net barrier of the camp and exploded inside the gymnasium," a local police chief said.
At least 37 people were hurt but none of the injuries were life-threatening, he added.
