Authorities have again called on the public to avoid buying illegal firecrackers to reduce the risks of injuries or casualties during the New Year’s Eve revelry.

On Dec. 20, police officers apprehended an illegal manufacturer of firecrackers in this town as part of the intensified crackdown on unlicensed makers.

Lea Alapide, president of the Philippine Pyrotechnic Manufacturers and Dealers Association Inc., has assured in an interview on Dec. 12 that they have long been policing their ranks against unlicensed makers of firecrackers. In recent years, some of the banned firecrackers were labeled as “Goodbye De Lima,” “Hello Colombia,” “Trillanes,” “Goodbye Bading,” “Goodbye Philippines,” “Pacquiao” and “Bin Laden.”Bocaue Mayor Eduardo Villanueva Jr. said they have been regularly asking these unlicensed manufacturers to stop their illegal activities, which have been the primary cause of firecracker-related injuries during the holiday season.
