Christmas with no fireworks


Christmas is celebrated with food ,toys for kids, parties, laughter's and unity and the finale is the big boom of the firecrackers but there is one city that doesn't celebrate Christmas with firecrackers and this is Davao City. Rodrigo Roa Duterte, mayor of the said place doesn't want firecracker to be the source of burned and injuries due to blasting's, that's is why davaoenos choose to use old pans and stainless cups others were metal sheets pulled by a jeep just to make a sound. The mayor said through this thing there is no patient that will go to hospitals just because of firecracker incident every body will face the new year with a complete fingers. So, The government of Davao focuses on the Christmas lights there were lights in the park, they made the lights more beautiful they even have a contest entitled "light a tree contest". that is why there are more people visiting the park just to experienced the ambiance of Christmas.
