La Trinidad Mayor asks council to ban firecrackers

He also hopes the town council will see the wisdom of this when he asked the councilors to pass a measure which will stop the sale of firecrackers in the Valley. But the problem is most pyrotechnics are sold in Baguio, and the City Council still has to decide whether to follow Domogan’s reasoning.


A group of firecracker vendors are lobbying the City Council to again allow them space to sell legal pyrotechnics.

If the Council will not allow the group to sell its wares, its members threatened to go guerilla selling.

Abalos is afraid if the City Council will not give in to the threat, the group might just think of conducting their business in the Valley.

He said an immediate measure from the town council will prevent the displaced firecracker vendors from the city to relocate to the peaceful capital town which is mostly preoccupied with its multi-million peso agriculture industry.

He has already warned the prospective firecracker vendors not to violate the intended ban once it becomes effective as the full force of the law will be applied on them. - (SunStar / by Sam Bautista with Aure Galacgac)
