Two boxes of dynamites were found on Friday morning in front of a students’ dormitory in Manila City, police said.
The explosive materials were found past 6am by a security guard of the Holy Family Dormitory located at 1235 A. H. Lacson Street in Sampaloc, Manila City.
Upon inspection by personnel of the Manila Police District (MPD) Explosives and Ordnance Division (EOD), the boxes yielded 150 pieces of SLURRY dynamite, which measures 25 millimeters by 300 millimeters each, and 90 meters of commercial time fuse with blasting caps attached on both ends.
The items are being used in mining and quarrying activities, police said.
Police said the security guard saw a woman leave the boxes in front of the dormitory.
Police are still investigating the incident to determine the source of the explosives and its purpose.
The discovery of the explosives came a day after suspected items used in illegal fishing caused a major blast in Bacoor, Cavite on Thursday afternoon that killed five persons and wounded five others./DMS
