MANILA, Philippines — A list of prohibited firecrackers on Tuesday was made public by the Philippine National Police.

The agency also cautioned the public on using firecrackers and fireworks during the holiday season.

“Napakadelikado kasi nito no, masyadong sensitive ang mga paputok na ito kaya kailangan natin mag-ingat,” the PNP said in their program “Sumbong Niyo Aksyon Agad” in UNTV.

(This is very dangerous, you know, because these fireworks are too sensitive, so we need to be careful.)

PNP-Firearms and Explosive Office released the list of prohibited firecrackers weeks before Christmas and New Year. 

The following are the prohibited firecrackers:

  • Watusi

  • Goodbye Philippines’
  • Coke-in-can
  • Super Yolanda
  • Pillbox
  • Lolo thunder
  • Super Lolo

In January 2023, the Department of Health logged 291 firecracker-related injuries which is higher than the 2021 number of 186 cases.
