debris from firecrackers/fireworks

[jick.cejoco]

as the new year passed, as with other new years, filipinos have been using pyro explosives for the passing of the last year. the debris left behind by these pyrotechnic materials are left on the side of the streets not being cleaned up. the debris usually end up in the storm drains in addition to the cigarette buts our irresponsible kababayans leave behind. no wonder manila always experiences flooding. this attitude is comparable to taking a piss or defecating in the pool you are swimming in. when is the government or the press going to remind our dear irresponsible kababayans to "police up" or clean up their mess. we are so used to having maids cleaning up after ourselves. revelry during the new year is fine, celebrations is fine, however, we need to think "green" and not litter the streets with these unnecessary debris that lead to our flooding. we live on the same earth and need to be responsible for the preservation of the environment for the next generations to come. saving the earth is everybody's responsibility.

And tsikot.com will always be one of the voices to announce this to the public.. Let's start educating people like them "who cares?!" ..

I hope, a lot of people have learned from the tragedy brought by typhoon "Ondoy" and other more typhoons in the future.. then "We Care!" should be a good slogan..

May hinatid ako mga 2am Jan 1 from West Ave-QC to Cubao-QC grabe kalat everywhere. The worst part was when the smoke started to go down and became smog. Masakit sa throat at mata.

It means "Killing us softly."

that's why I don't buy na yun mga classic fireworks, (pla-pla, kwitis etc), masyadong makalat. I remember I used to have a finale of 10,000 rounds na judas belt or was it sawa.

pero grabe sa sobrang kalat after, delikado pa sa mga maids namin dahil after eh wawalisin na nila, eh minsan meron pang sumasabog na sobrang delayed, although sa labas naman ng gate at meron naman maglilinis na tao ng association pero siyempre nakakahiya dahil ang dumi talaga. kaya pinapawalisan ko na rin sa maids.

ngayon dragon fireworks na lang ako, less hassle less kalat, yun housing lang mismo ang kalat pagkatapos after ko buhusan ng water lagay na lang sa garbage bag.

Part of the new tradition in our neighborhood is after the putukan, where the street litter with all the debris, especially the fired 10,000 rounds sawa, everybody participate in cleaning up the street before going inside their respective homes for the media noche.

Kaya sa umaga, pag gising mo, malinis na ang kalye.

This we have been doing since about 4 years ago when we also self-imposed a ban on burning rubber tires at our neighborhood during the new year's eve celebration.

Okay iyan bro....

Hugas lang ng maigi ng kamay at ibang parte ng katawan, at mahirap kumain ng pulbura during media noche....

Not much trash on our street. Most our neighbors left town because of the noise and smog I guess...

Haven't played with fireworks for more than 2 decades now. It's nonsense anyway and it presents a very high risk to one's health... and limbs.
