FIRECRACKERS & PYROTECHNICS BUYERS A-CROWDING

At the site in Bacolod City where vendors of firecrackers and pyrotechnics are allowed, the crowd of buyers is starting to get bigger this morning. This is at the back of SM City Bacolod north wing beside the Pope John Paul II Tower at the reclamation area, opposite the Smile Residences towers of SM Prime Holdings. Despite calls to celebrate New Year’s Eve without these fiery and blasty effects, many Filipinos cannot do without.* (Arman Toga photos)
