Firecrackers and pyrotechnics manufacturers and dealers in the country are hoping for a rebound in sales this year, after a 20 percent slump in sales last year.


Celso Cruz, president of the Philippine Pyrotechnics Manufacturers and Dealers Association Inc.,  said that one of the major contributing factors to this possible recovery is the forthcoming May 2004 election, as candidates are either sponsoring fireworks displays or gearing up for victory parties after the balloting.

                    [Summary] => MALOLOS, Bulacan — Last month’s bomb attacks in Zamboanga City and Metro Manila have caused a serious decline in production in this province’s pyrotechnics and fireworks industry.


According to Philippine Pyrotechnics Manufacturers and Dealers Association Inc. (PPMDAI) president Celso Cruz, production of fireworks manufacturers has fallen by at least 30 percent since the police regulated the sale of explosive materials used in making fireworks in an effort to prevent further bomb attacks.
