00:00Salubong is also close to the end of the year in 2025.
00:05And now, there are victims of gunshots and bombs.
00:09That's what J.P. Soriano is talking about.
00:18It seems like the children in Albay are not afraid of the use of bombs that became instant gunshots.
00:24Even though it's dangerous and prohibited by the Department of Health.
00:28In Davao City, there are also gunshots under the firecracker ban.
00:33Last week, the police confiscated 8 firecrackers.
00:37In the streets of Pangasinan, young people are also the majority of those who use drugs.
00:43In Central Luzon, 2 out of 3 incidents involving firecrackers were reported
00:48because of the gunshots that killed children.
00:52While a 41-year-old was shot by a police officer.
00:56A while ago, the authorities visited various hospitals.
01:00This year, the Department of Health said it's better to pay attention
01:04to ensure that parents who have no children will be held responsible for the gunshots, especially the illegal ones.
01:11DOH and DILG will also work together to ensure that the firecracker ban
01:18and community fireworks display zone will be implemented.
01:21There are no fireworks for the children because they can't shoot.
01:25But number two, for the adults who will be shot,
01:28actually my recommendation is that we just watch the community fireworks.
01:33Because usually, the fireworks are better when it's a community firework.
01:37Another problem with fireworks, when it increases, the number of asthma cases increases.
01:43That's what we reported to the Heart Center.
01:45So there are increased cases of asthmatic attacks.
01:48They call it status asthmaticus.
01:50That's when you can't stop breathing.
01:54It's still ICU.
01:55So that reminder is very important.
01:57Reminder that the adults should stop the children from handling fireworks.
02:03Number two, those who are allowed to shoot after the new year.
02:08That's also the statistics, right?
02:11Those who were allowed to shoot and then they were denied again because they didn't shoot.
02:15These are also not allowed and dangerous.
02:18So those are the reminders.
02:20For adults, don't shoot.
02:22Again, those who are allowed to shoot and those who are drinking are prohibited.
02:26According to the QCPD,
02:27as of now, they have reported one case of firecracker-related injury.
02:31But there will be more than 453,000 fireworks in the city this month.
02:38More than 10,000 police officers will be dispatched by PNP to the NCR
02:43to ensure that the laws will be implemented properly
02:46in line with the campaign against illegal fireworks
02:49and to have a fireworks display zone in the barangay.
02:53Almost all of the cities within Metro Manila already have ordinances banning firecrackers
03:01and we are supporting that.
03:03We have what we call the community fireworks display zone.
03:08According to the DOH,
03:09the number of cases of firecrackers is decreasing
03:13but the number of cases of cardiovascular diseases is increasing.
03:18That's why the DOH is reminding us to ensure that the diet is still healthy
03:23in the middle of each meal.
03:25It's very important to be well hydrated.
03:27Avoid too much eating and too much drinking.
03:30If you are hypertensive and you are told not to be salty or fat,
03:34follow that.
03:35Christmas is not an excuse to disobey the advice of your medical doctor.
03:41Another big problem this holiday season is the number of road accidents
03:47because of drinking.
