Night of joy in Manila, elsewhere
IT’S “Feliz Ano Neuvo, Prospero Ano Nuevo” in Spanish, “Chu Shen Tan” in Chinese, “Bonne Annee” in French, “Prosit Neujahr” in German, “Buon Capodanno” in Italian, “Novim Godom” in Russian, “Cung-Chuc Tan-Xuan” in Vietnamese, “Happy New Year” in English and, of course, “Manigong Bagong Taon” in Tagalog.
New Year revelry need not be deadly
WITH the hours fast ticking away leading to the dawning of the New Year, a green group has asked revelers to welcome 2008 in a cleaner, safer and kinder way sans firecrackers and other polluting noisemakers.
Drive vs use of deadly crackers intensified
The 17 Metro Manila local government units intensified their campaign against the use of deadly and prohibited firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices in welcoming the New Year, encouraging the people to use instead non-injurious and non-toxic devices and techniques in ushering in 2008.
