Cebu cracker blast hurts 2

-
CEBU CITY — With the holidays nearing, firecraker makers are having a blast, albeit literally.

In the same day that seven people were hurt in an explosion that razed four makeshift factories in Bulacan, a similar blast occurred in Lapu-Lapu City last Sunday.

Firecracker worker Ely Castro, 24, suffered second-degree burns, and his employer, Alejandro Agusto, sustained minor burns when a combustible mix of chemicals suddenly ignited and exploded. — Freeman News Service
