00:00All hospitals in the country are now on a cold white alert
00:04as they prepare to welcome the new year.
00:07But just now, the number of people who were injured due to the earthquake is increasing.
00:13The health department is not lacking in reminding the public
00:17to watch out for those who are not eating in the middle of the left-right lane.
00:22This is what Alan Francisco reported.
00:24More than a hundred firecracker-related injuries were reported by the Department of Health
00:33just a few days before the New Year greetings.
00:36In the program, Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon,
00:39DOH spokesperson, Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo said
00:44that the highest number of people who were hit or were hit by a firecracker
00:47came from Metro Manila.
00:49Next is Central Luzon Region 3,
00:52followed by Cagayan Valley Region 2,
00:55those are the top 3.
00:56Top 4 is our Western Visayas Region 6,
01:00and then the top 5,
01:01there are two regions tied there,
01:03our Ilocos Region 1 and our Central Visayas.
01:07Six out of ten,
01:09about 64% are said to be actively involved.
01:12The main cause of this firecracker is illegal.
01:15The Boga, Five Star, and Piccolo are included.
01:19The Legal Nakwitis are also included.
01:22Most of the people who were hit
01:23are the ones who are actively involved in the firecrackers.
01:28While the others were just involved.
01:30According to Assistant Secretary Domingo,
01:32according to their data,
01:345 to 14-year-old children are often the victims of firecrackers.
01:39Mothers, fathers, grandmothers, uncles, and aunts,
01:42please take care of your children.
01:44And as a good example,
01:45let's not use firecrackers,
01:46let's just use community fireworks.
01:48At the same time,
01:50he repeatedly reminds us
01:52to be careful when eating
01:54during the New Year celebrations.
01:56It's a trend to prepare for diseases
01:59such as stroke and heart attack,
02:01along with coughs,
02:03which are caused by firecrackers.
