Firework-related injuries reach 28, says DOH

Firework-related injuries were reported in a total of 28 cases from Dec. 21 to 25, according to the Department of Health (DOH). 

In a Christmas advisory posted at 4:00 a.m., the DOH said that eight new cases were added since Dec. 21. 

Of the total cases reported, 68%, or 19 individuals, are under 19 years old, while the remaining cases involve older individuals. 

The data were collected from 62 sentinel hospitals being monitored by the DOH for firework-related injuries. 

Most of the victims were injured by firecrackers, 5-Star, Boga, and Triangle. 

The DOH noted that the current total is 50 percent lower compared to the same period last year, when 56 cases were reported. 

It also advised the public to seek immediate medical attention in case of firework injuries. 

“Agad na dalhin sa ospital kung may aksidenteng dulot ng paputok [Immediately bring the person to the hospital if injured by fireworks],” DOH said.  

“Tumawag agad sa National Emergency Hotline 911 para sa emergency medical assistance [Call the National Emergency Hotline 911 immediately for emergency medical assistance].”’ 

The DOH will continue to monitor firecracker-related incidents until Jan. 5, 2026. 

Last year’s holiday festivities recorded 844 firework-related injuries from Dec. 21 to Jan. 6, 2025, with most victims injured by skyrockets, locally called kwitis. — Edg Adrian A. Eva

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
