00:15Witness, Marisol Abdulraman.
00:21After Christmas, this 13-year-old woman was confined to the Philippine Orthopedic Center.
00:27Her left hand was broken and some of her fingers were cut off
00:31after the five-star firecracker exploded last night.
00:44According to her mother, on Christmas Day, the child was allowed to go out.
00:48But the next thing she knew, the victim was taken to the hospital.
00:57Okay.
01:17The victim was not allowed to explode again.
01:19This is the second case of firecracker-related injury in the Orthopedic Department.
01:23A 12-year-old boy who was taken to the Tondo Medical Center was injured by a firecracker.
01:40A 13-year-old man was shot in the eye by a firecracker.
01:45He was hit in the eye by a firecracker while he was being shot by a firecracker in their house.
01:51In Zamboanga City Medical Center,
01:53six and eight-year-olds were shot in the eye and in the hand by a firecracker.
01:57In Bicol Region, the victims are considered minors.
02:00Four were injured due to the use of firecrackers.
02:03One was shot by a five-star and one was injured due to a whistle bomb.
02:07According to the Department of Health,
02:0926 cases of firecracker-related injury were reported today.
02:13Up to 69 cases were reported since December 22.
02:17Most of the victims are under 19 years old.
02:20Most of them were the ones who were shot.
02:2386% of the injuries were caused by illegal firecrackers,
02:27particularly firecrackers.
02:29Until January 6, the hospitals are code white
02:32for the possible increase of firecrackers and other emergencies.
02:36The Tondo Medical Center is ready to welcome the new year.
02:39There are items here that can be used to shoot firecrackers.
02:44They are ready.
02:46What are these called, Doc?
02:48These are our gloves, ma'am.
02:50These are sutures.
02:52And then we have our giglisos.
02:54And then bone cutters for those who were shot in the hand.
03:00We also noticed that they also have eggs.
03:05Doc, why do you have eggs?
03:08Usually, when patients are shot,
03:13we usually give them white eggs to avoid further poisoning.
03:20According to the DOH,
03:22firecracker-related injuries are the top priority.
03:25Five Star and Piccolo are included in the PNP's list
03:29of prohibited firecrackers.
03:31Not only are there places in the stores that monitor it,
03:34but also those who sell it online.
03:36What the DOH prohibits is selling it online.
03:40We know that there is no inspection by the government.
03:43It's not like a physical inspection.
03:45Transportation, of course, there is no security.
03:50That's what they prohibit.
03:53As of now, 115 social media pages have been taken down
03:58because of the use of firecrackers.
04:01More than 200 are being monitored.
04:03As of December 6, 10 have been arrested
04:06for selling firecrackers on social media.
04:09Two have been arrested for an entrapment operation
04:12in San Fernando, Pampanga.
04:14We will stop selling firecrackers online
04:17because our police are here to monitor
04:21and carry out the operation.
