I don't believe that the Philippines is the only country in the world that fire crackers are sold for individual use (I'm tempted to use individual consumption). You can see from movies that other than the Philippines there are other Asian countries that lit their own fire crackers beside their house. As opposed to grand fireworks display that other countries show in welcoming new year.

There is just Something about fireworks that people are fascinated by.
