| Mayor:
Firecracker ban still holds
THE firecracker ban still holds,
according to Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte.
"Sama sa gihapon, gusto ta og
linaw nga pasko, balaod na ni nga bawal ang mga pabuto og kinahanglan
sundon (As usual, we want a peaceful Christmas, the firecracker
ban in the city is already a law that needs to be obeyed),"
Duterte said.
"Gii-implementar man gani sa
una ang firecracker ban sa dili pa to balaod, unsa pa kaha ron (The
firecracker ban was already implemented before, how much more now
that it is already a city ordinance?)" he the mayor said.
As a result of the implementation
of the firecracker ban in the city three years ago, there were no
longer "bloody christmases" and the city enjoyed an almost-zero
incidence of firecracker-related accidents.
Last year, only a boy from the Island
Garden City of Samal was admitted to the Davao Medical Center for
minor injuries when a "triangle" exploded in his hands.
Aside from that, there were no other
reported incidents. (RCB)
