Dirty bombs
The Philippine Star|December 18, 2024
With high-profile wanted persons able to slip out of the country while all sorts of contraband are smuggled in, from agricultural commodities to guns and shabu by the ton, it's no longer surprising that even depleted uranium is now being traded in the country.

Between Oct. 18 and Nov. 9, in operations in the cities of Pasay, Mandaue and Cagayan de Oro, the National Bureau of Investigation seized about 26 kilos of substances containing depleted uranium and arrested several suspects. The substances include black powder, rocks and metal blocks that tested positive for Uranium-235 and Uranium-238, according to the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute, whose personnel tipped off the NBI and accompanied the raiding teams. The PNRI personnel searched the premises in hazmat suits.

You know it's summer when flowers are in full bloom and there's no room in your heart for gloom. You know it's summer when sunbeams are peeking through your window as you drowsily climb out of bed in the morning. You know it's summer when there seems to be an exodus of city-weary folk to some place where the air is crisp and cool.
