To prevent firework-related injuries, President Rodrigo Duterte said holiday fireworks displays should be conducted under the supervision of local authorities.
During his weekly national address on late Monday, Duterte said fireworks should be sold only to local government units or the police.
“I will only allow it when it is done by government. Iyon na lang ang ano ko. Mag-ano tayo, mag-compromise tayo,” according to the Chief Executive.
“Wala na magpabili sa private ano. Gobyerno na lang at gobyerno lang ang puwedeng magpaputok. Para hindi kayo mawalaan ng hanapbuhay. You don’t lose the business. And so enjoy also the New Year by ‘yung nakikita mo ‘yung produkto mo pumuputok pero everybody is put on notice that it must be safe. So ang mayor lang pati ang chief of police ang puwede,” he added.
Early December, Duterte raised the possibility of imposing a total ban on firecrackers this year to protect people’s health and safety.
In 2017, the President signed Executive Order 28, limiting the use of firecrackers to community fireworks display.
