Fireworks, Fireworks
New Year's fast approaching and the midnight air is beginning to get rattled by countless booms and bangs from flamboyant pyrotechnics. This noisy yet spectacular display of aerial flowers and sparkling lights never fail to reel in the ooohs and ahhhs of amazed audiences.
Apart from this joyous ritual of greeting the New Year comes the misery of children with broken fingers and blinded eyes. Yes, we find the display of fireworks pretty amazing but do we actually know how many people get hurt or even die from this? I admit that I myself love fireworks, I mean, who wouldn't?
There have been already a hundred people hurt from fireworks in the Philippines just this moment. Hindi pa naguumpisa ang New Year, ayan nanaman. What Im saying is, while we're enjoying our New Year with our families and while we're having our share of our own fireworks, let us not forget that there are bed-ridden children out there suffering from the pain of dislocated body parts. What has supposed to be fun, has been hell for them...
