00:00It's only been a few minutes and it's already 2025.
00:03Hospitals across the country are wearing code white
00:06to prevent the spread of the virus.
00:10Live from Manila, we have a live report from Katrina Son.
00:13Katrina?
00:18Atom, how many hospitals are we visiting tonight
00:21to see their condition,
00:23just like here at Dr. Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center in Manila?
00:31As of 8 p.m., there are already 18 victims of firecracker-related injury
00:36who were rushed to Dr. Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center.
00:40This is 43% higher than last year.
00:44The main cause of the firecracker injury here at JRRMMC
00:49are the firecrackers, King Kong and Five Star.
00:53They are expecting more firecrackers to be launched here by the end of the night.
00:58It's so alarming that the cases are mostly less than 18 years old
01:03and those are the passive victims.
01:05So there's really a must for parents to take care of their children.
01:11This is where the DOH first visited tonight.
01:14According to Usec Emeliza Perez Chong,
01:17the number of firecrackers is increasing this year
01:20which is why she is urging everyone to be more careful.
01:24This is a challenge.
01:25It's really a campaign, information drive for all Filipinos
01:30and all DOH hospitals are ready.
01:33Because this is beyond our control.
01:36Most of the patients are passive.
01:40So it's not a coincidence.
01:42It's really an accident and we want everybody to be helped.
01:48At Quirino Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City,
01:52I am here at the treatment room of QMMC
01:56and they are ready in case the patients with firecracker-related injuries fall.
02:03In fact, all of their instruments have been sterilized.
02:08There are also eggs here for the WATUSI ingestion cases.
02:12In the whole month of December,
02:14only one case was reported here at QMMC.
02:17The patient is a victim of quitis.
02:19But they are still not campaigning.
02:22The strength of the residents and our consultants here at Quirino is solid.
02:28In preparation and in fact, we have code white.
02:37Atom, back here at JRRMMC.
02:40As of 11.05, the number of firecrackers in the hospital has increased to 24.
02:48And this is the latest on why your new year should be safe.
02:52Atom, back to you.
02:54Thank you very much, Katrina Son.
02:56Not only the number of firecrackers in Salubong 2025 has increased,
03:01there are also almost 20 cases of long-range firecrackers.
03:07Sandra Aguinaldo reports.
03:10Since December 21, 12 firecrackers have been reported in the East Avenue Medical Center
03:16compared to just three cases last year.
03:19One of the victims is a 61-year-old woman
03:22who had second-degree burns when she was doing a whistle-bomb on December 29.
03:28At Tondo Medical Center, seven firecrackers have been reported since December 21.
03:33King Kong, Five Star, and Boga are the last to be reported.
03:37King Kong, Five Star, and Boga are the last to be reported.
03:41Like a patient who was hit by a firecracker, who had lapnose in his teeth and gums.
03:46There were also patients who were in an accident or were hit by a bullet.
03:50Some of them were drunk.
03:53In Naicavite, a 10-year-old man also had lapnose in his skin
03:59because the firecracker was played on December 27.
04:02Until 6 am this morning,
04:04the DOH reported 188 fireworks-related injuries,
04:0952% higher than the 124 cases in 2023.
04:15Aside from the firecrackers,
04:17the victims of firecrackers are also being watched.
04:20In Tukuran, Buanga del Sur,
04:22a member of CAFGO was injured when a firecracker hit the roof of his house.
04:28The PNP reported 18 incidents of indiscriminate firing in the past year.
04:35Four of them resulted in injuries.
04:3813 were arrested.
04:40According to the PNP,
04:42their Ballistics Identification System is of great help
04:45in determining the suspects of incidents involving firecrackers.
