00:16 Ivan, this is the best part of the new year.
00:19 Many people are going to buy fireworks and lights.
00:23 In Tinagore, the best fireworks in the country is the Bokawe here in Bulacan.
00:28 A few hours before the new year, the price of fireworks is also going down.
00:37 Like the 16-shot aerial firework that can be bought in different names,
00:42 but the style of the one that is used is the same.
00:45 Also, the medium-sized tube fountain.
00:48 If you want a lot or you're saving, there are also smaller ones that start from P50 to P150.
00:55 But some vendors are still hesitant.
00:58 Even if the people who are buying and canvassing are following,
01:02 it is still possible that their stores will not be empty.
01:06 We really want to increase and increase, but it did not happen.
01:10 The price has already dropped, sir.
01:12 But people still buy.
01:14 You see, before, the price of fireworks did not fall in the increase.
01:18 Now, you see, it's just a little.
01:21 We can't do anything, sir, because no one is really buying.
01:25 We will just return this to the store.
01:29 But if other vendors ask,
01:32 even if the old strength and enthusiasm of selling is not enough,
01:36 they can't be sure that they can recover this year compared to 2022.
01:40 A lot of people are buying because it's cheaper than last year.
01:45 It's a little cheaper because last year, it was really expensive.
01:48 The pandemic started.
01:50 That's when it became expensive.
01:52 The materials of the fireworks.
01:55 Some vendors, aside from the price, also have their own traditions that they want to start or return.
02:01 We bought this for our two children.
02:06 Especially our youngest, it's her first time in her house to celebrate New Year.
02:12 That's why she wants us to be there for them.
02:14 We are there for the unceasing.
02:17 We always do the new year.
02:20 It's natural, it's a tradition, so that the new year will be good.
02:26 Even though the sun is about to set,
02:36 there are still people who are buying or chasing to buy fireworks here in Bukawe.
02:42 Even though it rained since 5 p.m.
02:47 There are also some stores here that are open, although others are closed early.
02:53 The police are watching the surroundings of the fireworks stores in Bukawe.
02:58 They always remind us that it's prohibited to light firecrackers and to test fireworks here.
03:05 Before we end, happy new year to you, Ivan.
03:09 Happy new year to you and your team.
03:12 Thank you very much, Dono Tinkongco.
