Defy The Firecracker Policy, Have An Unhappy New Year In The Hospital

President Rodrigo R. Duterte's firecracker control policy is part of maintaining public safety. It's not even repressive as you may think is. It's not a total ban either as there are firecracker designated areas with police supervision. Now you think it's unjust? Well why not try defying it and let's see where it will go.

As if seeing people spending Christmas in the hospital wasn't enough do you want to see more people spend the New Year in the hospital? Just because there won't be cops everywhere doesn't mean the consequences aren't there. Play with fire and you will still get burned. Play with firecrackers especially those that have been banned (such as Judas Belt and Whistle Bomb) and you may consider getting yourself injured.

There's a good reason why firecracker control is implemented. It's to greatly reduce the chances of injury. There are always safety precautions to keep dangerous stuff like knives, guns and chemicals out of reach. It's because they can be easily misused and hurt other people. Some firecrackers are even banned because they're too dangerous. It's all about having guidelines to set as safety standards as to greatly reduce the number of casualties.

Still insist on defying the policy? Go ahead and don't call for an ambulance if you ever get hurt. Get it?
