Where is it perfect to give an engagement ring or a Diamond Initial Pendant perhaps?
Why, the World Pyro Olympics, of course! And it's happening at The Fort Open grounds, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig every Saturday starting Nov. 21 to Dec. 19. Tickets cost P200 now though (when it started, it only cost P10 back in 2005) and may be bought at Ticketworld *SM Department Stores, Robinsons Department Stores, National Bookstores (Call 891 9999).
But that's not all. There's also a Photo Festival for all photography enthusiasts. Details are as follows:
WPO 2009 PHOTO FESTIVAL – Capturing the art of fireworks!
The 2009 World Pyro Olympics will be a more explosive, more spectacular experience!
It will be the country's first pyromusical competition at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
The world's best teams will showcase their artistry and technical skill by shooting dazzling fireworks synchronized with musical scores. The competition's new venue, a departure from the past years' water-based firing, will allow for more creativity and versatility in the use of ground level and special effects.
With this new firing base, the 2009 World Pyro Olympics present more challenges to photographers – to portray the magnificent moments of each country’s presentation from the ground up.
So, experience the art and culture of pyro and music – capture its pageantry and win big, because over P100,000.00 worth of prizes await you!
