Abandoned car in Quiapo causes alarm, but yields no explosives 

An abandoned car caused alarm among bomb-shocked residents in Quiapo, Manila on Saturday, but fears vanished  after police bomb experts found no explosives inside.

DzBB's James Agustin reported that a black Toyota Vios (VG 7323) was found in front of a residential building along Bilibid Viejo Street.

Manila Police District-Explosive Ordnance Division operatives immediately searched the car and found only clothes and some drug paraphernalia, including a tooter and an empty sachet of suspected shabu.

Authorities have withheld information on the two IDs recovered from the car as investigation is ongoing.

PCI Alden Panganiban, head of the MPD-Barbosa Station, lauded residents for their vigilance, especially after Quiapo was rocked by a series of explosions last month, and amid the threat of the ongoing security crisis in Mindanao. —Anna Felicia Bajo/LBG, GMA News
