Firecrackers in the Philippines

Firecrackers in the Philippines refers to small explosive devices (paputok) commonly used to mark the New Year and other festivities. While firecrackers are deeply embedded in Filipino popular culture, their use is regulated by national law and a patchwork of local ordinances because of recurring injuries, fires, and air-pollution spikes during holiday periods.
