For almost 14 years, Davao City celebrated Christmas and New Year without firecrackers explosions, it was implemented here in our city last Christmas of 2001 and New Year of 2002. The City Ordinance of banning firecrackers was actually passed only in late 2002 and indeed it was a SILENT NIGHT Christmas 2001 and so was New Year 2002. Since then, our city has recorded zero injury and death from FIRECRACKERS BLAST and STRAY BULLETS.
The banning of Firecrackers is not only during Christmas and New Year but all year round, applies also with the celebration of the Chinese New Year and the Muslims Eid'l Ftr or the end of Ramadan.
And because firecrackers was a BIG NO here in Davao City, SMART COMMUNICATION together with the City Government of Davao joined hand-in-hand to organize a BIG GATHERING of party blowers using the traditional way, the 'TOROTOT'(party horns) in order to make Davao City New Year full of fun, enjoyment and noise blast!
DAVAO TOROTOT FESTIVAL
Started last year of 2013 as we welcome 2014, though the record was not surpassed for the Guinness Book of Records for the largest gathering of party blowers, this time we will do it again and we hope we will make it!
Torotot Festival will begin with a parade today at 2PM.
Program start at 5PM at Roxas Avenue, Freedom Park fronting Ateneo de Davao University.
Be part again with our very own Davao Torotot Festival history. No need to worry about the 'Torotot' (party horns), our City Government will provide it for FREE!
We have been blessed celebrating the true meaning of Christmas in a quiet way and New Years too, and we become an envy of other cities. The people of Davao City are so thankful with the ordinance our City Mayor Rody Duterte seriously implemented.
And I'm so proud with my city and it's become something I used to experience... NO FIRECRACKERS (pollution). NO SOUND OF A GUN SHOTS. Celebrating it peacefully, only hearing the sounds of joyous caroling outside our house, sounds of people singing with a videoke, cars and bikes with used cans at the back of it roaming around back and forth the city making too much noise and most of all the blowing of horns, these are the true sounds of making us feel how special this season is truly SAFE and BLESSED indeed!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERY ONE. MAKE THIS 2015 a YEAR FULL OF GREAT, PROSPEROUS, BLISSFUL, HEALTHY, BRIGHT, DELIGHTFUL, ENERGETIC and EXTREME HAPPY....
