Buying fireworks in Manila, then setting them off on the beach!
Special thanks to the wonderful team at: www.dragonfire...
Fireworks have been a part of the Filipino life since trade with the Chinese flourished. But modern fireworks manufacturing have been attributed to some Americans teaching Filipinos to manufacture fireworks in the Philippines after the Second World War.
Fireworks manufacturing and usage in the Philippines improved only to be declared illegal in 1972, with the imposition of Martial Law. For 20 years, fireworks manufacturing stagnated, forcing manufacturers and distributors "underground". Quality degenerated as a result with most of the production geared towards "bangers" and skyrockets.
In January 1992, Republic Act 7183, otherwise known as the Fireworks Law, was passed, legalizing the manufacture, sale and use of "allowable" types of pyrotechnic devices. The importation of finished fireworks was banned by the same law for the protection and development of the new industry.
Humble Beginnings
Dragon Fireworks Incorporated (DFI), was established in June 1992 and became the first fireworks manufacturing company duly licensed by the Philippine government to cater to the domestic market. It was established to meet the growing demand for "safe, quality fireworks".
