President Duterte, who imposed the ban in Davao City when he was mayor, said firecrackers pose risks to people’s safety and health since they cause injuries.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police on Tuesday warned Filipinos against illegal firecracker usage and indiscriminate firing of guns, a cultural tradition Filipinos are accustomed to, ahead of the celebration of New Year's Eve. 

 

At the Laging Handa briefing Tuesday morning, Police Col. Roderick Alba, PNP spokesperson said that the national police will render security assistance and coordinate with the Department of the Interior and Local Government for the deployment of police officers at New Year festivities.

 

As it currently stands, Executive Order No. 28 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte bans individuals from using firecrackers or setting up their own fireworks displays during “events of personal, religious, cultural, and national importance,” especially during New Year’s Eve.
