INSANE Filipino New Years Fireworks 🇵🇭

[@sumakwelvictoria5635]

And ask any old timer...it has been toned down drastically! In the old decade days it felt like a warzone!

[@mrconfusion87]

Yup! It was way more nuts until around the early 2000s, and since then it has slowly toned down! Ask any Filipino above 30 years old and they will tell you the same thing!

[@KnightGeneral]

So true and it last longer

[@hardgamer6826]

crackers were banned slowly by the government and the inflation also hits hard

[@indigo901]

Sure it was! Our neighbors used to burn car tires on the street and use it as a fire starter for fireworks. Every house in our neighborhood would spend thousands (Philippine peso) for those. It decreases when the govt starts discouraging the whole nation in using fireworks due to casualties if not, fatalities, accidental fires and harm to our environment. Rather spend money on foods or gifts. Makes sense actually.

[@crisusf25]

Yes 😂 absolutely 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅

[@junmaddara7255]

This is why a lot of Filipinos around the world return home for Christmas and New Year in the Philippines...

[@melitamenorias8283]

True. Months before "ber months" we all make bookings for a cheap flight home just to celebrate our most special celebration of Christmas and New Year with our families and friends. it's been part of our culture. I think our way of celebrating Christmas and New Year tops around the world. 🎉

[@brydcsd]

That's actually a toned down version. When I was a kid, it's like bazookas and machine guns rumbling everywhere hours before ringing the new year. I miss Metro Manila.

[@AiSyYoo]

as someone who experienced being in the middle of a gun zone (somewhere in Mindanao) I always hated new year. I even made myself a small soundproof room by taping newspaper on my doors and windows lol. Thankful with how it toned down now. Back in early 2000 it was crazy loud and all night long.

[@RioGee-ex6jp]

bro fr a war zone after that alot are sent in the hospital due to firecrackers some has no hands anymore due to little firecrackers that are lit by kids and picked it and the legendary boga and loud bazooka like boom 💥 💀 i missed it but it was dangerous piccolo and five stars where notorious and the good bye philippines

[@krioni86sa]

[@PredictAnythingSoftware]

It is crazier than I remember back in the 90s. The fireworks were so loud that I couldn’t hear the scream of my brother right beside me. Also, as a kid at that time, New Year was very traumatizing. At first, it was a lot of fun. But as time went by, it seemed like non-stop and the fun slowly turned to fear. Maybe because I was just a kid then. You also started to hear gunshots, which made it even scarier.

[@maryannt.8577]

I can relate, torture sa tenga kapag bata pa, ganun siguro pakiramdam ng pets.

[@nenejubiiikkoo]

Ka uuwi ko lang galing ng Pilipinas. Nag celebrate ako doon ng Christmas at New Year. Parang nag tone down na ang mga paputok kaysa noong 90’s at hindi na marami ang nag pa putok ng baril sa place kung saan ako nag stay. Kaya hindi ako lumabas ng bahay para ma nood ng paputok. Dahil takit akong baka may mag pa putok ng baril at tamaan ng stray bullet. Sa lugar na kung saan ako naka tira dati at kung saan ako nsg stay ay doon naka tira ang mga Malacanang Guards dati.

[@Operator214MerchantMarine]

New years fire cracker celebration in the philippines has already been watered down compared back in the 90's or 80's , back then it was so loud that the ground was shaking and thinking it was world war 2 in europe. we even had firecrackers that have funny names , like super pla pla (which basically has enough gunpowder to become a triangular paper version of a hand granade) hehehe

[@renzoosuna9833]

In the Philippines making noise in New Year became a tradition. It is believed that the noises scares away bad spirits coming into the New Year and also gets rid of Bad Luck for the New Year

[@joshtongohan7430]

we really celebrate a lot for Christmas and New Year every year. This is usually our time to be with everyone we love... family, relatives, friends and special someone! 🥰

[@reved2284]

Philippine New Year's celebrations are different than anywhere else in the world, as each individual and household takes part in the revelry. Though as already mentioned, it is not like the same as in the old days (due to stricter government regulations). I am old enough to remember those days growing up, where Manila and every urban center in the country is like a warzone, I tell you. Nonetheless even if today's celebrations are less intense than before, it is still unique. Hope you enjoyed, happy new year to you all! 🍻

New years fireworks shows in the last couple of years have been toned down by alot! Back in 2005-2009 every street corner is a warzone. Everybody has fireworks and every uncle, teenage boys and boys threw fireworks at each other and many many more. It is both exciting and dangerous at the same time. Plus, back then the fireworks starts from as soon as there is no sun(6:00pm) to 4:00am in the morning. Nowadays it just stops at 12:30am

This is why I miss spending the new year in the Philippines. As others have mentioned, it has indeed been toned down more recently. When I was a kid, we had to wear a face mask just so we can go to the street to celebrate just because the smoke was so bad!

[@amandagee6521]

In the 90's, the streets were impassable from 10pm till about 1 or 2am. The fireworks has definitely toned down over the years due to restrictions imposed. The number of firecracker injuries are primarily the reason for the restrictions. But nothing can beat the old times. The best Christmas and New Year are always celebrated in the Philippines 🎉
