Guingona identifies the different pyrotechnics being banned from selling are pla-pla, super lolo, piccolo, goodbye Philippines, kwiton, crying cows, whistle bomb, big triangles and other powerful firecrackers

The councilor noted during the New Year’s revelry, most of the victims that land in the hospitals are minors.

“I hope parents should also be concerned with their children during the celebration of the New Year. Parents should always supervise their children during the celebration of the new year’s eve,” Guingona said.

Guingona is discouraging the minors from using pyrotechnics in welcoming the New Year’s celebration as this is one of the major causes of fire.
