Share TweetBy Charissa Luci-AtienzaAn administration lawmaker is proposing to slap a fine amounting to P10,000 against parents or guardians who instigate the purchase of fireworks or pyrotechnic devices by their minor child or ward. “This requirement will now be a prerequisite for the grant of a license to engage in the manufacture and wholesale distribution of firecrackers and pyrotechnic devices,” Villafuerte said. HB 8085 prohibits the sale of firecrackers or other pyrotechnic devices to minors or all persons below 18 years old. “Children using firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices must be strictly under adult supervision,” Villafuerte said.
