00:00 More than a week before the 2024 meeting,
00:03 the inspection of the country's largest fireworks capital is on the way.
00:08 Two stores are busy selling Peke lights,
00:12 the PS mark.
00:13 Maki Polido was there.
00:15 Because the new year is coming,
00:21 the stores of lights are being run by DTI.
00:24 Here in Buking, two of the stores in Bukawe, Bulacan
00:27 are selling Peke lights, the PS mark.
00:30 PS or Philippine Standard Mark and ICC or Import Commodity Clearance stickers
00:36 are indications that DTI has checked that the products are safe.
00:39 The case is that these are Peke.
00:42 The danger is that we are not sure if it is safe.
00:46 If it is not, it could explode right away
00:49 or our properties could be destroyed.
00:53 So we should not buy if the manufacturer is not licensed.
00:57 A notice of violation was issued by the retailer and the manufacturer.
01:00 But one of the retailers who was seen
01:03 sold them stickers so they thought it was okay.
01:07 We are in good faith.
01:09 If we see that there is a PS mark, it means it is approved by DTI.
01:14 It can be double-checked if the PS and ICC stickers are authentic.
01:18 Look at the license number written on the PS mark
01:21 and verify it on the website of the Bureau of Philippine Standard.
01:24 If it is an ICC sticker, you can scan it using the scanner for ICC app.
01:29 It's a violation of their license
01:31 that they manufacture models that are not on the approved list of DTI.
01:37 The number of Peke lights sold here in Bukawe could increase
01:40 if the number of buyers increases next week.
01:43 Many people are addicted to the production and sale of fireworks and firecrackers.
01:48 That's why they are against the decision of DILG Secretary Benher Abalos
01:52 to ban the nationwide use of fireworks and firecrackers.
01:57 We are not allowed to work.
01:58 You know, this store is just for real.
02:00 A teacher and a food tech graduated here.
02:03 There are ordinances that some cities in Metro Manila
02:06 prohibit lighting and fireworks,
02:09 like Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Makati, Malabon, and Mandaluyong.
02:14 In other cities, it is allowed in designated areas
02:17 like Quezon City, Caloocan, Manila, Paranaque, Pasay, Pasig, and Pateros.
02:22 The PNP has also issued a list of the prohibited fireworks,
02:26 like Watusi and Piccolo.
02:28 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
