00:00More than 500 victims of the bombings have already died in Lubong in 2025.

00:07Although the number is lower than last year,

00:10the number of victims is still high and most of them are just children.

00:15Maki Pulido was shot.

00:20Back then, it was like there was a war

00:22due to the number of patients who were shot in the emergency room of the PJH.

00:26Now, it's not dangerous anymore.

00:28There are only 17 deaths since December 21,

00:31compared to more than 500 in the past.

00:34In the whole country,

00:35534 firework-related injuries were reported,

00:38which is less than 10 percent.

00:40Many of the cases are related to illegal bombings,

00:43such as boga and quitis.

00:45The health department also confirmed the death of one person in Nueva Ecija

00:49due to a heart attack.

00:51Although there are three other people who were killed by the GMA Regional TV

00:55in other provinces.

00:56The number of victims of the bombings is also decreasing.

01:00Most of them are just children who were not shot but were injured.

01:05That's why Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said

01:07that there is a need for a fireworks ban

01:09or a more strict implementation of community fireworks

01:12that will only be held by experts.

01:16Injuries and amputations are permanent.

01:18If they happen to a 10 to 14-year-old child,

01:22that is for life.

01:24It should be prevented.

01:25It should be zero.

01:27In Tondo, Manila,

01:28most of the victims of the bombings are drunk men.

01:31Because of his drunkenness,

01:32one of the patients of Tondo General Hospital cut his hand.

01:36He was drunk.

01:37He probably forgot that he was holding a bomb.

01:41So, eventually, the bomb hit his hand.

01:45His entire hand had to be cut.

01:48Two people were reported as victims of illegal bombings.

01:51There were 30 cases of indiscriminate discharge of firearms.

01:5424 were arrested by the PNP.

01:57If the number of fireworks-related injuries decreases,

02:00the so-called Holiday Heart Syndrome

02:03or cases of stroke or heart attack increases

02:06during the Christmas season.

02:08There were 146 cases of stroke

02:10from December 23 to January 2.

02:12Two died.

02:14There were 74 cases of acute coronary syndrome.

02:17One of them got sick.

02:19Once a year, the people who are high-risk decide

02:22to violate my rules.

02:25They eat lechon, fatty foods, salty foods,

02:29and they end up in the emergency department as a stroke case.

02:34That's why the New Year's Resolution states

02:36to eat properly, exercise,

02:38and not to drink any maintenance medicine.

02:41For GMA Integrated News,

02:43Mackie Pulido, for 24 Hours.
