Department of Health (DOH) Assistant Secretary Maria Francia M. Laxamana said children should be encouraged to tell their parents and siblings to avoid firecrackers because of the injuries and accidents they cause.
Executive Order No. 28, Laxamana reiterated, now regulates and controls the use of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices.
This, she said, is for the safety not only of children, but also of the general public.
