The Taguig City government has designated firecracker zones in the city where people can use and explode firecrackers and pyrotechnic devices.
Under Taguig City Ordinance No. 87, “it shall be unlawful for any person to distribute, discharge, explode, or cause to discharge or to explode any firecrackers, pyrotechnic device, or any such other similar device outside the designated Firecracker Zones.”
In coordination with the police, fire station and barangay officials, the Taguig City government said the firecracker zones in different barangays will “ensure a safe New Year celebration.”
