SINABI ng Palasyo na wala pa ring executive order kaugnay ng panukalang ipagbawal na ang paggamit ng paputok sa bansa.
Kasabay nito, pinuri ni Communications Secretary Martin Andanar ang Department of Health (DOH), ang Philippine National Philippines (PNP), at mga lokal na pamahalaan dahil sa tagumpay nito sa isinagawang kampanya kontra paputok.
“We have yet to see a signed EO for the firecracker ban. Although we are very much aware that the President is a strong advocate of the total firecrackers ban, there are industries and laborers also that would be affected by this move. The President weighs/considers the welfare that would be for the greater good of all,” ayon kay Andanar. (Bella Cariaso)
