Roxas City (16 November) — The Capiz Police Provincial Office (CPPO) has called on applicants for firecracker manufacturers, dealers, and outlets to discuss existing rules and regulations in the manufacture and sale of firecrackers this Christmas season.

“There were around 30 applicants who attended the conference who were oriented on the rules and regulations on the manufacturing and selling of firecrackers as stipulated in Republic Act 7183,” said Capiz Police Director S/Supt. Roberto Villanueva.

The security preparation of the local police authorities is in line with the government’s efforts to ensure a peaceful holiday season celebration. The Arroyo administration has also called on various sectors to be kind to those in need “as we enter the holiday season.”
