On the other hand, this Office conducted operations against illegal firecrackers and unauthorized sellers to prevent cases of injuries and damage brought by these devices during the Yuletide season. The amount of seized firecrackers was estimated to more or less P 31, 095.00. Further, the confiscated illegal firecrackers were destroyed on January 3, 2020 at Camp Gen Miguel C Malvar, Batangas City.
“With the stricter implementation of President Duterte's E.O. 28, it has been relatively successful that there were no injuries recorded this season. As reflected on the number of confiscated firecrackers by this Office, only few violated the said Order. We are happy that the people of Batangas actively supported the programs and laws being implemented by our police force for the peaceful celebrations”. –PCOL QUILATES. ###piobatangasppo
