LINGAYEN–Nine World War II vintage bombs dug by a farmer in his cassava farm in Barangay Telbang, Alaminos City last January 31 were defused by a team from the Explosive and Ordnance Division  (EOD) of the Police Provincial Office (PPO).

The farmer, immediately after finding the bombs, called the Alaminos police, which in turn called the PPO.

Superintendent Benjamin Ocomen, chief of the Pangasinan Police Community Relations, said the EOD team led by Superintendent Noel Vallo rushed to Alaminos for the safe disposal of the bombs as soon as it was reported.

Ocomen advised all residents to do the same of immediately reporting to the police and never tinker with vintage bombs should they discover any.

He said OED personnel are always ready to go and defuse the bombs to prevent any accidental explosion that may cause injuries and even death.
