Posted to Katropa DWDD-CRS Virtual RTV (Feb 23, 2019): On the explosive found inside a passenger’s baggage at the MRT-3 Cubao station

Based on initial report provided by authorities, around 7:10PM yesterday, 23 February 2019, bag inspectors found a live hand grenade inside the baggage of Christian Guzman, 29 years old, at the inspection area.
...
The live grenade is wrapped by a packaging tape and placed inside a cellphone box.
The incident was immediately reported by MRT-3 guards to police officers inside the station. After questioning, Guzman was immediately brought to the Police Detachment in Shaw Boulevard for further investigation.

Guzman was charged of violating RA 9516 or Illegal Possession of Ammunition and Explosives.

He is now in the custody of PS7 in Cubao, and will have an inquest at Quezon City Prosecutor's Office, today.

The DOTr MRT-3 would like to stress that this matter will be taken seriously. We ask the patience and cooperation of our passengers as we further tighten the security measures being implemented in our stations. Please understand that these measures are being done to protect the safety and security of our passengers.

We also want to encourage our passengers to remain vigilant and report immediately to our security personnel items, activities, and even individuals that they may find suspicious inside our trains or stations.
