00:00 The Department of Trade and Industry or DTI confiscated the fireworks sold in their stores in Bukawi, Bulacan.

00:07 Aside from the fact that it is prohibited to manufacture or make fireworks in the country, some are not licensed.

00:13 This is what Claycel Pardilla reported.

00:15 France bought colorful lights and powerful fireworks for the celebration of Christmas and New Year.

00:26 For abundance, our family believes that if there are fireworks, there will be more blessings and prosperity.

00:34 A few days before Christmas and New Year, the Department of Trade and Industry inspected

00:40 some stores of fireworks and lights in Bukawi, Bulacan.

00:44 Finally, some kinds of fountains that are prohibited to manufacture and sell in our country were found in this store.

00:51 We made a mistake because we didn't buy it. Of course, we will buy it because it is cheap.

00:57 If you have a PS license given by DTI, it is stated there what you can manufacture.

01:04 This Mount Everest, DTI did not allow Legendary to manufacture it.

01:10 In another store, more than 100 boxes of lights were found without a license.

01:17 Some fountains with Philippine standard mark were also not licensed, but the license number of other kinds of lights was used.

01:25 The problem is that Sputnik Gold made a new one using the same license, Q5248.

01:36 But DTI did not authorize it to make this gold.

01:41 They just changed the packaging.

01:43 It is possible that the packaging was wrong because they were almost the same, but they were confused.

01:50 The products that are considered substandard were confiscated and the storekeepers issued a notice of violation.

01:58 Manufacturers explained that the possible fine of P25,000 for retailers up to P300,000

02:08 for those who manufacture the prohibited fireworks or lights.

02:12 The danger is that before we issue a PS license, we check the construction of the fireworks,

02:20 the means of ignition, how it was ignited, and its performance when it is actually fired.

02:26 So the danger is that we are not sure if it is safe.

02:31 It is possible that if it is ignited, it will explode immediately or it can explode.

02:36 DTI advised that in order to make sure that the fireworks and lights you buy are safe,

02:43 check if there is a PS mark or ICC sticker.

02:46 It is proven that it passed the testing of the Bureau of Philippine Standards.

02:50 Find the license number and go to the ICC sticker verification system or PS license approved BPS website

02:58 and check if it matches the name of the manufacturer and model of the product.

03:03 At present, the price of fireworks and lights is lower than in 2022.

03:09 But it is expected that the price will increase by 15 to 20 percent as the new year approaches.

03:17 Now, the demand is low, the supply is high, it is low.

03:20 But after Christmas, the demand will increase, the supply will decrease, the price will increase.

03:25 Khaleys Alpardilia for the people.
