Manila, Philippines

Revelers set off firecrackers as they usher in the new year in Manila Jan. 1, 2013. Philippine officials reported more injuries from fireworks as emergency services braced for a night of thunderous and sometimes deadly merrymaking.

To stop Filipinos from setting off huge firecrackers that maim and injure, one health official, Eric Tayag, donned the splashy outfit of South Korean star Psy and danced to his YouTube hit "Gangnam Style" while preaching against the use of illegal fireworks.
