CANDABA – Mayor Jerry Pelayo has recently launched ‘Oplan Iwas Paputok’ to prevent the use of firecrackers on New Year’s eve.
This initiative is aimed at strengthening the campaign by the Department of Health (DOH) on the use of the firecrackers.
Instead, Mayor Pelayo encouraged the residents on the use of safe, practical, and innovative ways and materials to create loud noise during New Year’s celebration.
This according to him is better than greeting the New Year with damaged and injured fingers.
Meanwhile, DOH reminded that in the event that a person is hurt due to firecrackers, immediately wash the wound with clean water and mild soap and bring the victim to the nearest health center or hospital for appropriate treatment.
The DoH called on private individuals and policemen who own/have firearms not to fire these weapons, especially during the New Year’s Eve revelry, to avoid hitting innocent victims.
