00:00 A few days before the meeting in 2024, there are already 52 cases of fireworks-related injuries in the country.
00:07 Illegal fireworks are also being strictly monitored.
00:11 For May 1, Emil Sumangil and Marisol Abdurrahman were the first to report.
00:15 Many people took the opportunity to buy fireworks in Bukawi, Bulacan.
00:23 It's just for lighting, to avoid accidents to the children.
00:27 We need that. We will celebrate on the 31st.
00:31 There are police officers and firefighters who are watching to avoid fire.
00:35 All the firefighters and police officers are coordinating with us to avoid the fire.
00:40 So those who vape and smoke, don't do it.
00:43 Because when you vape, it will be detected.
00:46 I see.
00:47 So it's really prohibited.
00:48 So if you do that, there will be a sprinkler.
00:50 There are also water containers that are standing by.
00:53 Aside from fire extinguishers like this, there is also this store called Fire Extinguisher Ball.
01:00 If you just cook it, the fire can already be lit.
01:04 DOH still reminds us not to use fireworks.
01:08 On March 20, 2023, when we were the first to have restrictions,
01:15 many people started using fireworks.
01:19 In total, there are already 52 cases of fireworks-related injury,
01:24 the most in Metro Manila.
01:26 24 new cases were reported from 6 in the morning yesterday
01:30 until just before 6 in the morning earlier.
01:33 The youngest was 5 years old.
01:35 Five people were shot this year due to traumatic amputations
01:38 or the need to cut their hands or fingers.
01:41 The case also includes whistlebomb, illegal fireworks like Plapla,
01:45 Five Star, Goodbye Philippines and Boga.
01:48 78 cases were confiscated by the PNP.
01:51 If it explodes, it really depends on the size of the can.
01:54 If not, your hand will really be cut.
01:55 The tendency is that if the can or PVC can't handle it,
02:00 it will hit your face.
02:02 Aside from the explosion itself,
02:04 it is also dangerous if the PVC can is broken
02:07 because it can go through the body.
02:09 It's not just a coincidence, you will really die.
02:12 Believe me, this is not advisable.
02:16 Illegal fireworks cases are also being monitored.
02:21 From before Christmas until yesterday,
02:23 the PNP reported 7 incidents of illegal discharge of firearms.
02:27 We have been reported an incident of illegal discharge of firearms
02:31 and two police officers and two soldiers.
02:34 The two police officers from Davao and Manila
02:37 were already arrested and confiscated their firearms.
02:40 It turns out that it was a family problem
02:43 that led to the explosion of one police officer.
02:46 The police officer involved
02:48 has experienced the noise of people
02:52 allegedly holding a chicken.
02:57 He did not notice the sound of the chicken
02:59 and accordingly, he was shot several times on the ground.
03:04 The PNP is aware of the police officers
03:05 who will be shooting outside their duty
03:08 in the face of serious cases.
03:10 This is also the AFP's information.
03:11 There are also cases of punishment.
03:15 And that also depends on the guilt
03:20 of our investigators.
03:23 This is the first news.
