RECU 3 OPERATIONAL SUCCESS: OLONGAPO CECU SAFELY RECOVERS FIVE CORRODED 76MM HIGH-EXPLOSIVE

In line with the PNP Focus Agenda, under the leadership of PBGEN ROGELIO Z RAYMUNDO, JR, Director, PNP-EOD/K9 Group, personnel from Regional Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Canine Unit 3 (RECU 3) Olongapo CECU successfully executed a high-stakes Render Safe Procedure (RSP) on discovered Unexploded Ordnance (UXO).

This mission directly advances the Group’s core commitments to aggressive crime prevention, operational readiness, and rapid response to public safety hazards. The emergency response was initiated, following a critical request for EOD technical assistance from Pat Police Station 4 (PS4), regarding a highly volatile, weaponized hazard found in a residential sector.

Upon arriving at Tagumpay Street, Purok 4, Barangay New Cabalan, Olongapo City, the team coordinated with the PS4 first responders. The threat originated from an alert 60-year-old garbage collector, Mr. Nestor Dela Rosa y Beltran, who discovered a heavy, rusty metal object concealed inside a waste collection sack. Upon further inspection, he recognized the imminent danger and immediately alerted local police authorities.

Technical assessment and evaluation conducted by the expert EOD technicians positively identified the items as five (5) pieces of Cartridge 76mm, High Explosive (HE), in a heavily corroded and unstable condition. Olongapo CECU personnel applied advanced Render Safe Procedures utilizing a wood tourniquet and sand stabilizer to secure the fuzing mechanisms and prevent unintended detonation.

The hazardous ordnance was successfully disarmed, removed via standard extraction protocols, and safely transported to the temporary makeshift storage facility of the Olongapo CECU for safekeeping and final disposition.
