MANILA, Philippines - A World War II vintage bomb was found at a construction site in Malabon City Friday morning, police said yesterday.

A backhoe operator working on the site discovered the bomb in Golden Dale Subdivision, Barangay Tinajeros at around 9:25 a.m., according to Senior Police Officer 1 Rogelio Libuton.

Police said the backhoe operator identified as Roy Tolentino initially thought that the explosive was a metal scrap.

Libuton said the bomb, which measures three inches in diameter and 30 inches in length, was found with “no visible markings, intact and sealed.”

It was turned over to the Tactical Operations Center-Special Reaction Unit of the Malabon City police for proper disposition.
