A 45-year-old man was killed, more than 130 people were injured and thousands were left homeless by fires and other accidents during New Year's Eve celebrations in the Philippines, dpa cited officials as saying Friday.
The lone fatality in Thursday's revelry was drunk when he hugged a lighted firecracker in Manila, said Health Secretary Janette Garin.
The overnight celebrations also left 131 people injured from firecrackers and celebratory gunfire, bringing to 384 the number of victims since December 21, Garin said.
