Firecracker-Related Incidents May Skyrocket Under President Mar Roxas And Vice President Antonio Trillanes


Happy Holidays anyone? It's a sigh of relief thinking that both Mar Roxas and Antonio Trillanes didn't win the positions they ran for during the 2016 elections. Let's say they did and I decided to imagine what could have happened if these two clowns were president and vice president.

Chances are neither President Roxas nor Vice President Trillanes would want to implement any firecracker regulation policy. It's even safe to assume that they may even encourage the reckless use of firecrackers in the name of Paskong Pinoy (Pinoy Christmas) and Pinoy Bagong Taon (Pinoy New Year). You might even see that they may import a lot of firecrackers and make it accessible to the public.

If you've heard of the deadly smog in India during the Diwali celebrations then you may get a worse incident with the Philippines under President Roxas and Vice President Trillanes. If government offices will start distributing free firecrackers under their orders then think of what will happen if every Filipino had access to them. Just imagine what if majority of Filipinos lit firecrackers simultaneously during Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Can you imagine all the smog and firecracker related injuries that will happen as a result?

Worse comes to worst - it could end up causing a nationwide smog. Can you imagine all the toxic fumes released by firecrackers? It may first end up killing majority of residents in the National Capital Region and Imperial Manila. Pollution in Manila is already so heavy. Just think what if all those firecrackers exploded simultaneously with all the pollution? Hmmm how many people would probably get sick and die from the pollution and firecracker related incidents?

The worse that could happen is all the toxic smog may not only affect the Philippines but the whole Southeast Asia. That means all that smog may fly to Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia to name a few. Do you remember the Indonesian forest fire affecting Singapore? It may even be worse that all of the countries near the Philippines may perish as a result.

Aren't you glad that the firecracker control policy is now a reality?
