Despite the heavy pronouncements that there will be no fire crackers, only horns are being encouraged, old habits die hard.  Just before midnight, the whole of Philippine was transformed into a one huge battle/war zones with loud explosions coming from all types of  pyrotechnics (firecrackers and fireworks.

Here are some of their pictures (at least in my neighborhood.)   By the way there are least 5 among our neighbors who spend thous for fireworks (That does not include the municipality fireworks)  Tonight there are more fireworks.  7 years ago I was excited when we introduced fireworks during All Saints day celebrations.  We must have spend nearly half a million pesos during the period when we supported such an event.  Looking back we burned precious pesos for a few minutes of excitement just like last night.

                                  It so challenging to capture the glory of fireworks
