00:42It's a tradition during the New Year,
00:45to buy fireworks no matter what.
00:48From Valenzuela, Don bought fireworks
00:51to celebrate the New Year with his family.

01:00and at the same time to bring happiness to the family.

02:20Angelique, flyers were given
02:23by Bulacan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office
02:26to the public to be careful.
02:28The road of cars here in Governor Halili Avenue is manageable.
02:35But for our countrymen here,
02:38they have a long way to go.
02:41Angelique?
02:42Yes, Bernard, you said that it's running out.
02:44What are the best sellers?
02:46What are the favorite things to buy?
02:52Angelique, this is Sawa.
02:54Sawa and Lucis are the favorites of our countrymen here.
03:01Some of them came from faraway places
03:04because it's cheap here
03:06and the quality of the fireworks they buy is good.
03:10Do they accept G-Cash?
03:12Or do you have to pay cash?
03:21Angelique, they accept E-Wallet as cash.
03:27Of course, it's popular now
03:29so that the transaction will be faster
03:33for our customers.
03:36Thank you very much, Bernard Ferrer.
