Over 200 people hurt due to firecrackers – DOH
MANILA, Philippines – Sixty-two more people were hurt due to firecrackers as they welcomed the New Year, the Department of Health (DOH) said on Thursday, January 1.
This brings the total firework-related injuries to 235 from December 21, 2025 to January 1, 4 am.
DOH data showed 69% of the victims were aged below 20.
Most of the injured were hurt from firecrackers that are unknown to them as well as boga and 5-Star.
This year’s firework-related injuries is 42% lower than the 403 cases recorded in the same period last year.
The DOH will continue its monitoring until January 5.
“The DOH anticipates that late reports will come in from today [January] 1 all the way to [January] 5. We hope the lower count will stay,” DOH spokesperson Albert Domingo said.
Domingo advised victims to consult with the nearest hospital, regardless of the wound size, to avoid tetanus, a bacterial disease that affects the body’s muscles and nerves.
“Symptoms do not appear until around 8 days, some up to 21 days later, and they can be deadly. Vaccination against tetanus is available at hospitals,” he said.
According to the World Health Organization, tetanus symptoms include headache and muscular stiffness in the jaw then neck, difficulty swallowing, spasms, sweating, fever, and rigidity of abdominal muscles.
Besides wounds and burns, firecrackers may also cause blindness and loss of hearing. It may also trigger bronchial asthma. – Rappler.com

Coinbase CEO Ends Speculation on NBA Star Kevin Durant’s Blocked Bitcoin Account
The post Coinbase CEO Ends Speculation on NBA Star Kevin Durant’s Blocked Bitcoin Account appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This week, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong confirmed that Kevin Durant had regained access to a Coinbase account that he had opened almost 10 years ago. This puts an end to the speculation surrounding the NBA star’s supposed permanent lockout. Durant first entered the market in late 2016, when Bitcoin was trading at around $650. The largest cryptocurrency now changes hands at around $117,000, representing an increase of around 180 times since his initial purchases. Over the past five years alone, Bitcoin’s price has increased by more than 950%, turning initial investments into multimillion-dollar holdings. The account issue arose during a discussion at CNBC’s Game Plan conference in Los Angeles. Durant’s business partner Rich Kleiman said his client had been unable to log in for years. Hours later, Armstrong addressed the matter directly on social media, writing that the recovery process had been completed. NBA star becomes major U.S. exchange investor Durant’s connection to Coinbase goes beyond a user account. In 2017, he and Kleiman added Coinbase to the portfolio of their 35V investment firm. Four years later, the two companies signed a marketing agreement, making Durant one of the company’s public ambassadors. Despite these ties, he was unable to access Bitcoin purchased prior to the partnership and investment. The scale of the numbers involved puts the recovery in perspective. A $10,000 Bitcoin investment at Durant’s entry price would now be worth almost $1.8 million. Even a single coin purchased in 2016 would now be worth more than $116,000. Durant, who is set to play in the upcoming NBA season with the Houston Rockets, has now regained direct control of assets acquired almost 10 years ago.
