A feast for the eyes: the fireworks of the Pyromusical Competition

On February 15, the Philippines started the competition off with an impressive 30-minute show of various fireworks lighting up the sky at MOA’s seaside. The thousands of visitors gazed at the spectacle as our very own host country put on an amazing show. Two lit-up birds flying in the sky and drawing a tail of fire sparkles behind them were a unique highlight in the Philippine’s show.

You could hear the viewers rave about this unexpected part long after the fireworks concluded. The show was underlined by several popular songs that set just the right evening scene for the amazed crowd of families, lovers and friends. While it presented beautiful fireworks, the Philippines itself is not part of the competition.
