Two unexploded ordnance were found inside a house in Barangay 487, Manila this Thursday. Resident Vin Orias willingly turned in the bombs discovered while they were cleaning out the belongings of his late father who loved to collect antiques. Unexploded ordnance or mortar is a class of explosives that have not exploded and still have a risk of detonation even after several decades of use. According to the District Explosive Canine Unit (DECU) of the Manila police, people who collect these can be charged with possession of explosives. — TeleRadyo, 14 April 2023
