the said incidents.

crackers. This includes the confiscation of assorted illegal fire crackers in
an operation conducted on December 29, 2017 at San Pablo City Laguna where four

“The
decrease of fire cracker incidents could be attributed on the intensified
campaign of the government specially the Philippine National Police in
cooperation with other agencies such as the Bureau of Fire Protection, the
DILG, DOH, and other concerned agencies,” said CALABARZON Director PCSUPT Ma. O
R Aplasca.

“Pinapasalamatan
din naming ang aming mga kababayan na nakiisa at sumuporta sa aming pinaigting
na kampanya. Kung hindi rin po sa kanilang kooperasyon ay hindi po naming
mapapababa ng malaki an gaming datos,” RD Aplasca added.(PIO- PRO4A)
