“I have issued an Executive Order prohibiting the use of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices in Marikina this New Year. This is to prevent the mass gathering of people and ensure the safety of our constituents,” Teodoro said in a statement Thursday.
“Our primordial concern is the health and safety of the public, we do not want them to get infected with coronavirus which has already claimed lives,” he added.
He said the order is in compliance with the Resolution No. 19 of the Regional Peace and Order Council-National Capital Region recommending the ban on the use of firecrackers in Metro Manila.
