00:07Vendors report a high demand for various types of firecrackers with prices varying.

00:12Rod Laguzad has the details.

00:17This New Year's Eve, crowds of last-minute shoppers are flocking to buy fireworks

00:21as this becomes a part of their tradition in welcoming the New Year.

00:24Billy traveled all the way from Tondo, Manila to Bukawai, Bulacan to buy fireworks this New Year's Eve.

00:30For us, it's not going to rain.

00:32It's like a celebration.

00:34Every year, it's like this.

00:35It's noisier, it's nicer, it's luckier.

00:38Good fortune will come in.

00:41Among the fireworks he bought were rounds of sawa, aerial fireworks, and fountains.

00:45Billy, who's from Quezon City, also bought fireworks today.

00:48But for this year, he was being a bit more frugal with his purchases.

00:51Usually, I don't buy fireworks here.

00:54It's just now that Bukawai is open.

00:57Then, I'll go home. I'll go home to Manila.

00:59He bought some sawa and fuites for the New Year celebration later.

01:03They're just the two of many shoppers this New Year's Eve in Bukawai.

01:06According to Diane, a vendor, many people have already been buying since December 29,

01:10including those who placed pre-orders.

01:12There are still a lot of people.

01:14It's not all gone.

01:16It's like this rush hour.

01:18There are a lot of people.

01:19I think there will be more because we know there are Filipinos.

01:23When there's a rush hour, that's when people come and go.

01:27She mentioned that some fireworks prices have gone up while others have become cheaper.

01:31The best sellers are aerial fireworks, priced from P550,

01:34while the most expensive can reach P45,000, depending on the number of shots.

01:39Fountains, which are also in demand, ranging from P3 for P100 for the smallest ones

01:44up to P1,500 for the larger ones.

01:47The famous sawa starts at P180 for the cheapest.

01:50The sales are good now compared to before.

01:53Before, it was like a pandemic.

01:55It was like there was a pandemic.

01:56But now, the sales are better.

01:59To ensure the safe selling of fireworks, there is a fire extinguisher available in the store

02:03and they reprimand customers who smoke.

02:05In addition, firefighters from the Bureau of Fire Protection are on standby in the area.

02:10Rod Laguzad, for the National TV Network, for a new and better Philippines.
