Can you celebrate the New Year without fireworks?
Fireworks and firecrackers can be fun, but they can also be very dangerous!
Most definitely! While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally used to welcome the coming New Year, they can be very dangerous not just for kids, but for adults as well.
For years, the Department of Health has warned about the dangers of using firecrackers since every year, hundreds of people throughout the country suffer from firecracker-related injuries.
Here are some good alternatives to celebrate the coming New Year with a bang, but without fireworks or firecrackers!
1. Videoke!
Pinoys love to sing, and what better way to welcome the New Year than by singing your family’s favorite songs on the videoke?

Trumpets are sold almost everywhere during the days leading up to the New Year. They’re great for families who love to make noise but are wary about the dangers of firecrackers.
