00:00Unlike back then when there was a total ban,
00:02illegal fireworks are now more popular online.
00:06Aside from that, the police are also monitoring
00:08the illegal fireworks and the videos that show how it's done.
00:13Chino Gaston has a report.
00:18This is how many fireworks were caught by the police in the province of Rizal.
00:22There are 400 of them.
00:23All of them were destroyed yesterday.
00:25We are now at the scene of the destruction of the building.
00:28These fireworks are not far from the improvised fireworks
00:32that were used by these kids in Manila last week.
00:38The kids said that they learned how to make fireworks on TikTok.
00:42To those who are posting these videos,
00:45we want to warn everyone that you are about to face a serious case
00:50because it has been banned for a long time.
00:52The PNP wants to strengthen cyber patrolling against these tutorial videos.
00:57Improvised fireworks such as boga can cause eye injury,
01:02blindness, burn of the skin and wound that can lead to amputation or cut in the body.
01:10In the monitoring of the Department of Health this December 25,
01:13boga is the number one cause of firecracker-related injuries.
01:17We remind our parents to monitor and supervise our children.
01:22Do not allow them to use boga.
01:30There is no escape from the entrapment operation of the PNP-ACG.
01:34These two are selling illegal fireworks such as kingkong and tula online.
01:40The sale of illegal fireworks online is a problem now
01:44according to the Philippine Pyrotechnics Manufacturers and Dealers Association Incorporated.
01:49Sales are higher now compared to the past when there was a total ban.
01:54Usually, you can see that it is illegal on Facebook
01:57because they don't have a license to do it.
02:02It is illegal for them.
02:04What they sell is still illegal.
02:07Now that it is raining, there is a reminder.
02:09I hope it will rain fireworks.
02:11It has a chemical in it.
02:14As it dries, it will self-explode.
02:19If it gets wet, you can just throw it in the trash.
02:22Yes, because you might get burned.
02:26Who wants to report for GMA Integrated News?
