Transcript
00:00Aside from the victims of the explosion, there were also those who were in an accident and were involved in the chaos while celebrating 2025
00:08brought to the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City.
00:11And again, on the spot, Ian Cruz.
00:14Ian, Happy New Year!
00:19Yes, Connie, we just received an update here at the East Avenue Medical Center
00:23that since 2023, there have been 24 firecracker-related injuries
00:28that were recorded here at the East Avenue Medical Center here in Quezon City.
00:32And Connie, the youngest there, the 9-year-old who was hit by an unknown bomb
00:37while the oldest, the 61-year-old senior from Bukawi, Bulacan, was hit by a whistle bomb.
00:43As of now, the comparative stats of the hospital are not yet released
00:46if there were many who were hit by the 2025 bomb compared to the 2024 bomb.
00:52There were no new firecracker-related injuries brought here to the hospital.
00:56But from what we received, there were many accidents that happened during the celebration of the new year.
01:01Like the 11-year-old who was hit by a motorbike by a drunk rider while watching fireworks.
01:07There were also many cases of stabbing and stabbing where one of the last ones brought here to the hospital
01:12was a man named Valiches.
01:14While there, Connie, at the Querino Memorial Medical Center here in Quezon City,
01:18as said by Dr. Errol Gonzalez, from December 31 until now,
01:22there are already 70 firecracker-related injuries in the hospital.
01:26This is still one of the most admitted.
01:28This is higher than the 13 or 14 cases in the year 2024.
01:34So, Connie, the medical personnel here at the East Avenue Medical Center are still on standby
01:39because there were instances in the past where children were hit by non-explosive bombs
01:47and others were hit by accidents.
01:49But hopefully, this will not happen again so that the statistics of the bombings here at the East Avenue Medical Center will not increase.
01:56From here at East Avenue, Happy New Year to you, Connie.
01:59Happy New Year to you again, Ian Cruz, and thank you very much.
