- The defendant admitted he lacked ANMAC authorization and proper transport documentation after initially telling officers he was carrying agrochemicals.
- Prosecutors sought four years of effective prison, calling the conduct of crossing multiple provinces and the prohibited subfluvial tunnel an act of very high social danger.
- Expert testimony stated the 4x4 lacked antispark safeguards required for explosive transport, and officers also seized tools, electronics and about 97,150 pesos in cash.
- The court backed requests to investigate the shipment’s destination and to dispose of the explosive stock, which remains secured pending a destruction decision.
