‘Pailaw’ allowed outside residences

DILG Officer-in-Charge Catalino Cuy clarified, through a memorandum circular, dated December 19 that “all allowable consumer pyrotechnics or ‘pailaw’ may be used outside designated community fireworks areas, meaning outside places of residences.”

The directive states that the clarificatory policy guideline is upon the request of the Philippine Fireworks Association, to explain Section 2 of Executive Order 28, series of 2017, which provides for the regulation and control of the use of firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices.

Section 2 of order states “Pyrotechnic devices other than firecrackers may be used outside community fireworks displays.”

Cuy has directed all provincial governors and city and municipal mayors, the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and all other concerned agencies to relay the policies under the executive order to all local government units within their respective jurisdictions and ensure compliance.

He said non-compliance to the memorandum circular shall be dealt with in accordance with pertinent laws, rules and regulations.

He asked the PNP and the BFP to again conduct inspections, confiscate and destroy prohibited firecrackers and pyrotechnic devices.

Cuy also reminded local government units to issue permits for the conduct of community fireworks display specifying the date and time of fireworks display and the specific area where the display will be conducted, in conformity with national standards, rules and regulations.

Under Republic Act 7183, “common types” of firecrackers that can be manufactured, sold, distributed and used include: Baby Rocket, Bawang, Small Triangle, pulling of strings, paper caps, El Diablo, and Sky Rocket or kwitis.

Meanwhile, the following pyrotechnic devices are also allowed for manufacture: sparklers, luces, fountain, jumbo regular and special, Mabuhay, Roman Candle, trompillo, Airwolf, whistle device, and butterfly.
