Hiniling ni Senator Win Gatchalian kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na gawing “urgent” ang pagbabawal ng mga paputok habang papalapit ang pagdiriwang ng Pasko at Bagong Taon.
"If President Duterte certifies this bill as urgent, Congress would be able to pass this important public safety measure in time to minimize, or even eliminate, firecracker-related injuries during the 2016 Christmas season," ani Gatchalian.
Ayon sa senador, maraming buhay na ang nalagas at milyun-milyong ari-arian ang nasira dahil sa paputok.
Si Gatchalian, ang pangunahing may-akda ng Senate Bill No. 1140 o "Firecrackers Prohibition Act of 2016", na nagbabawal sa pagbenta at distibusyon ng firecrackers at iba pang pyrotechnics. (Leonel M. Abasola)
