Firecracker Ban Nationwide To Be Imposed By President Duterte
President Rodrigo Dutere is planning to impose firecracker ban nationwide to avoid accidents during Christmas season, like what he did in Davao City.
On Sunday (October 16, 2016), Duterte said that he wanted to discuss the implementation of firecracker nationwide upon their Cabinet meeting. “It has economic and social or whatever implications. That is why I want it to be studied by the Cabinet and it has to be a Cabinet decision,” said by Duterte quoted by Philstar.
The president wants to implement the firecracker ban in the country to avoid firecracker accidents during Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebration. Davao City has already implemented the ban during the term of Duterte while he is the city mayor of the said province.
Nationwide during Christmas season most people love to make noise by having firecrackers. The president only wants a safety celebration of Christmas and New Year for the Filipinos.
