The Muntinlupa City government will strengthen its campaign to implement local laws banning the use of firecrackers and aftermarket or modified mufflers that emit loud noise, including the arrest of violators.

City Ordinance 14-092 prohibits “the manufacture, display, sale, distribution, possession or use of firecrackers or pyrotechnic devices and such other similar devices and the exploding of firecrackers or other similar explosives within the territorial jurisdiction of Muntinlupa City.”
Violators face fines from P1,000 to P5,000 and business establishments selling firecrackers may face revocation of their permit and license to operate. Mall owners or similar establishments may organize fireworks displays in designated areas after securing a permit from the Bureau of Fire Protection and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
