President Duterte is apparently not keen on imposing a total ban on firecrackers across the country due to potential loss of jobs.
The President has asked the Cabinet to revise a draft executive order (EO) regulating firecracker use to consider its economic implications.
“A revised EO on the firecracker ban will be submitted,” Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said when if the President has approved the nationwide ban on firecrackers during the Cabinet meeting last Thursday.
“The concerned agencies will look into the proposal to regulate pyrotechnics to mitigate the possible loss of jobs and at the same time enable traditional celebration of festivities,” he added.
