In Boryeong City in South Korea, people watched a beautiful fireworks display after the annual Mud Festival. When asked, locals would say they could only get to enjoy such displays during festivals or lunar New Year celebrations. Fireworks are too expensive for their own private celebrations.
In the United States, anyone can buy fireworks at such magnitudes of display, but would need the proper permits from the ATFE or the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Avoiding such hassles, people resign themselves to wait for New Year, 4th of July displays, concerts or go to theme parks like Disneyland to witness amazing fireworks shows.
Fireworks in the Philippines
For 20 years, fireworks manufacturing stagnated after it was declared illegal by Martial Law in 1972. The industry went underground and focused on making noisy bangers than putting good shows. Quality deteriorated as safety risks started a yearly countdown of maimed hands and burned houses.
Fortune finally looked down on the industry in January 1992 as Republic Act 7183 finally legalized the manufacture and sale of approved pyrotechnic devices. This also curbed the influx of foreign and mostly substandard fireworks. Symbolizing prosperity and good luck, fireworks manufacturing continued to flourish and is now a $400-million industry in the Philippines with 300 licensed manufacturers and dealers.
The Birth of a Dragon
Dragons are iconic symbols of prosperity, blessings and good luck, just as fireworks do. Joven Ong’s fascination with dragons and fireworks drove him to venture into pyrotechnics in 1992. Dragon Fireworks Incorporated (DFI) became the first licensed fireworks manufacturing company in the Philippines to meet the growing demand for safe and quality fireworks. Seeing the trend of fireworks in international scenes, DFI focused from traditional firecrackers to aerial pyrotechnic displays, just like a fire-breathing dragon soaring through the skies.

Fireworks and Philippine Celebrations
The emerging global consciousness of the Filipino is not only reflected in fashion and technology but in the manner of celebrating events and other festivals. Fireworks were previously relegated to New Year celebrations, but the availability of safe, reliable and quality fireworks made it possible to have amazing pyrotechnic displays for occasions such as weddings, birthdays, baptismal, fiestas, and other events that always bring joy and happiness to everyone.
Balikbayans coming home always dreamt of making their homecomings as grand, memorable, full of fun and laughter. What better way to add glitter, awe and glamour to their celebrations than to make use of amazing fireworks display. However, the difficulty of coordinating orders as well as on-time deliveries to provinces where celebrations will be held made the idea of fireworks displays less appealing.
