This was according to Supt. Surki Sereñas, Police Regional Office-10 spokesman adding it was generally peaceful.

Those who were injured, Sereñas said was a seven-year old child in Barangay Bonbon.

She suffered a first-degree burn on her face when she was hit by a lighted  “kwitis.”

Another victim was 27-years-old man from Marawi city but presently residing here in the city.

He was hospitalized after a firecracker landed near him and hit his private parts.

A suspected stray bullet incident was reported in Iligan City. A lone victim Lenny Bado, 48 years old and a resident of Purok 1, Diamond Extension, Barangay Hinaplanon, Iligan City sustained minor injury on her back and was brought to a local hospital in Iligan City.

Camiguin, Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental and Misamis Occidental have no reported incident of firecrackerelated injuries, fire incident, illegal discharge of firearms or stray bullet injuries during the new year revelry.

“We are attributing this remarkable record to the good people of Northern Mindanao who did not fire their firearms and were responsible merry-makers as we welcomed 2019,” Regional Director Chief Supt. Timoteo Pacleb said.

“The entire holiday season was generally peaceful and this is something we should be proud of,” Pacleb added

Sereñas said this coming Jan. 4 they will have a command conference with Pacleb.

During the conference, Sereñas said Pacleb is expected to relay marching orders from Camp Crame. (with reports from pna)
