00:00In Bukawe, Bulacan, some people are choosing to light fireworks in exchange for the new year.
00:08Have they bought anything yet?
00:10First news, live, James Agustin.
00:13James, how's the supply and how's the price in Bukawe?
00:21Good morning.
00:22The price is still the same as yesterday and it didn't go up today.
00:27And what they're telling us is that those who are choosing to light and fireworks
00:30are doing it for luck and to save money.
00:32That's what they believe.
00:33That's why they came early to Bukawe, Bulacan to buy that.
00:37The supply of fireworks and lights here is running out.
00:43Koy and his wife came early to Bukawe, Bulacan.
00:47They're from Quezon City.
00:49They're looking for aerial fireworks and fountains for celebrating the new year.
00:54Our tradition, even before, is fireworks to ward off the evil and let the luck come in.
01:03And now, since I have kids, for them to be able to enjoy the lights once a year.
01:10Romzel left Batangas early in the morning.
01:14He bought 15,000 pesos worth of lights and fountains.
01:17The new year is more lively when we have this.
01:21Because it's a bit sad when we don't have this.
01:24So it's really a habit.
01:25We've been doing this for a year.
01:27What are you looking forward to for 2020?
01:30More blessings.
01:33We'll still be lucky, all of our countrymen.
01:37Chuck came from Antipolo.
01:39He bought a few lights, fountains, and aerial fireworks.
01:43Those lights will bring good luck.
01:46Those loud ones will ward off the evil.
01:49Yeah, nothing will go to waste.
01:51Aside from the lights, the fountains are for my kids and my nieces.
01:59Because they love me.
02:02What are you looking forward to for 2025?
02:05Well, more blessings.
02:08Of course, good health.
02:09Some stores are running out of lights and fireworks.
02:13For example, Roman Candle, Quetis, and Sawa.
02:16We only have a few pieces of Quetis.
02:19Just a few bundles.
02:20We've already sold a lot.
02:21We only have a few pieces of Sawa.
02:24Even though we stocked a lot, we ran out.
02:28Even though the price went up, people are still buying.
02:32You can buy lights for P100 to P300 for 10 pieces, depending on the class.
02:38For Quetis, P900 for 100 pieces.
02:42You can also sell cone fountains.
02:44From small to large, P25 to P180.
02:49While tube fountains are P150 to P1,500.
02:54For Sawa, P350 to P1,500, depending on the number of rounds.
03:00You can also sell aerial fireworks.
03:03You can buy them for P1,500 to P35,000, depending on the number of shots.
03:14Meanwhile, in some stores here in Bukaway, Bulacan, they are running out of supplies before closing.
03:20They are hoping that more people will buy in the next few hours.
03:25Until later in the afternoon.
03:26In just a few hours, it will be New Year's Eve.
03:30They are still strictly prohibiting fireworks and testing for the fireworks and lights you will buy.
03:36That's all from Bukaway, Bulacan.
03:38Happy New Year to our fellow citizens.
03:40Cheers to you, Ivan.
03:42I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
03:45Cheers. Happy New Year.
03:47Thank you very much, James Agustin.
