02:14Despite the campaign against firecrackers, many people are still buying from its stores in Bukawe, Bulacan.

02:19According to some stores, it's possible that because it's raining now,

02:22that's why fewer people are buying compared to the last time.

02:25But what's for sure is...

02:26We'll finish it tonight. It's possible that we'll finish it.

02:29For tomorrow?

02:30For tomorrow. We'll just make it explode.

02:32If you don't want it to explode, there are also noisy stores in Bukawe,

02:36like Torotot and Kahoy na Baril-Barilan.

02:44At this time, the number of people who are buying firecrackers in Bukawe, Bulacan is still increasing.

02:51According to some stores, there are some types of firecrackers that have limited supply.

02:57But there are supplies that will arrive later today.

03:01And according to them, they are open 24 hours a day.

03:04Atom.

03:05Nico, how is the security in the area and the ways to avoid fire or disgrace because there are a lot of firecrackers there?

03:12That's what we really remember, that it's safe for our countrymen to buy firecrackers.

03:22Atom, here in this particular compound where people are buying firecrackers,

03:27next to it is a police station that we saw earlier.

03:30They are always going around.

03:34So that it's safe, no one is smoking, no one is vaping,

03:39or anything that can trigger a fire here in buying firecrackers.

03:45And the other compound, next to it is a nearby fire truck,

03:50in case there is a fire.

03:52Atom.

03:53And according to the sellers there, Nico, when is the best time to buy firecrackers?

03:59As far as I know, firecrackers are also cheap in Bukaway.

04:02But usually, there is a time when the best price is near.

04:11Atom, according to the sellers, at first, they thought that there are only a few people buying firecrackers.

04:18Because it rained earlier today here, Atom.

04:21But after the rain, the number of people buying firecrackers suddenly dropped.

04:26So they said, if you don't want to rush, or if there are a lot of people buying firecrackers,

04:32it's better to buy firecrackers early in the morning,

04:35when there are a lot of people buying firecrackers.

04:37It's better to buy firecrackers earlier.

04:38But now, it's too late, Atom.

04:40Okay, thank you very much, Nico Wahe.

04:56Atom.
