00:00The store in their storehouse in the fireworks capital of the country is already sold out due to the large number of buyers.
00:06Until now, it's a new year's eve, and Ian Cruz was able to tune in live. Ian.
00:15Emil, it's only been more than 5 hours and it's already 2025, but until now, there are still those who are chasing to buy fireworks and lights here in Bukaway, Bulacan.
00:25And if we compare it to the past 100 years, there are more people who bought fireworks and lights for the celebration of 2025.
00:36It's a new year's eve, and here in Turobo, Cauy, Bulacan, there are still no buyers who came to buy fireworks.
00:43Only friends and family came.
00:46Others are still buying lights.
00:49The cost is already P10,000.
00:53That's already P1,000. Why do you want more?
00:55This is what we're used to, sir.
00:57For the kids to see how happy they are, how beautiful it is, sir.
01:02That's it. Always be careful.
01:04According to the sellers, people started to go down on December 27, so many stores opened 24 hours a day.
01:12There are police officers who are going around the area.
01:15According to the fireworks dealer we talked to, they earn more this year.
01:21Of course.
01:22Because there are a lot of people, although they don't buy that much.
01:26The bulk of the people, that's the reason why our sales are big this year.
01:31Other stores are already closed early in the morning because the store is sold out.
01:37But because it's only a few hours before the new year,
01:39some feel that the price of fireworks and lights has increased compared to the celebration of the past New Year.
01:47Like Nino, who is from Santa Mesa, Manila.
01:50The price of the lights they buy has increased.
01:53Maybe last year, it was only P2,000.
01:57Now, it's almost P4,000. It's all lights.
02:01Why is the price so high?
02:03They said that the supply is not enough, that's why they increased the price.
02:08Others, from Bukawe Fireworks Complex near Bukawe NLEX Interchange,
02:13to other stores selling fireworks in Luwasan, Turok,
02:16are looking for a cheaper store.
02:18But when it comes to that,
02:19Do you have any quites?
02:20None.
02:22It's all sold out.
02:24The locals are the first ones to run out.
02:26Because of the large number of people buying,
02:28the number of cars on Governor Fortunato Halili Avenue is also slowing down,
02:32especially towards MacArthur Highway.
02:35Other stores are also closed early in the morning.
02:39There are a lot of people, but they can't sell anymore.
02:43Because of the lack of stocks.
02:44They don't think that people will get sick during Christmas.
02:48I hope there will be a lot of stocks.
02:50But I haven't been able to stock a lot.
02:52Because the price is going down,
02:56of course, I can't buy.
02:59Past 3 p.m., there are still deliveries of quites to the stores that are running out.
03:05At the same time, Bukawe 12 Plaza is also building up
03:11towards Governor Halili Avenue
03:13because of the large number of cars on the way to buy fireworks and lights.
03:21Emil, the authorities will continue to remind those who bought fireworks and lights
03:26to follow the safety tips
03:28and to only follow those who bought from the designated area in their area.
03:34And from here in Bukawe, Bulacan,
03:36we are wishing you a Happy New Year.
03:38Back to you, Emil.
03:39Blessed New Year. Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
