CITY OF IMUS, Cavite (PIA) — The province of Cavite recorded a decline in holiday-related incidents during the New Year celebrations, according to data from the Cavite Police Provincial Office (PPO).
Acting Provincial Director Col. Ariel Red reported a sharp drop in firecracker- and pyrotechnics-related injuries. Data from the Ligtas Paskuhan campaign showed a 75-percent decrease in incidents, from 36 cases in 2024 to just eight in 2025.
All recorded cases involved firecracker- and pyrotechnics-related injuries. The Cavite PPO reported no incidents of indiscriminate firing, stray bullets, road crashes, or fires linked to fireworks and pyrotechnic devices.
Col. Red attributed the peaceful celebration to the combined efforts of law enforcers, local government units, and the public.
“The remarkable decrease in incidents during the New Year’s celebration is proof of the effective implementation of the laws and the cooperation of the people,” he said, adding that public discipline played a crucial role in ensuring safety across the province.
The Cavite PPO also cited intensified operations against illegal firecrackers and loose firearms, heightened police visibility, and close coordination with local government units and the Caviteño community as key factors behind the positive outcome.
The provincial police force extended its gratitude to partner agencies, LGUs, and residents for their continued support in maintaining peace and order. (RBF, PIA Cavite)
