CLARK FREEPORT— Some 7,000 people flocked to this year’s Philippine Internatio­nal Pyromusica­l Competitio­n (PIPC) at SM City Clark.

SM City Clark Public Relations Manager Venus Manalang said that opening day exhibition­s between the Philippine­s and Belgium was met by a strong crowd of spectators who trooped to the mall as early as 4:00 pm on Saturday.

On the opening day, Platinum Fireworks Inc. took to the sky to open the festivity together with an amazing drone exhibition. As the first contender, CBF Pyrotechni­cs from Belgium also presented their pyrotechni­c delights.

On March 2, Germany’s 9th PIPC champs “Steffes-Ollig Feuerwerke” and Portugal’s “Pirotecnia Minhota” will treat the crowd with their tradition and mastery of skills in the sky.

On March 9, the Pampanga skyline will witness France’s “Brezac Artifices” followed by a burst of vibrant colors by Finland’s OyPyroman.

Italy’s very own “Viviano S.R.L.” and last year’s champion, United Kingdom’s “PyrotexFir­eworx” will battle it out on March 16.

Canada’s turn to paint the night sky bursting with colors on March 23 with their very own “Fireworks Spectacula­rs” and China’s Polaris Fireworks will surely stun the crowds.

To cap off the competitio­n and close a decade of giving the best pyromusica­l exhibition in the Philippine­s, March 30 promises the most spectacula­r display of colors and surprises with Poland’s Surex Firma Rodzinna and the Philippine­s’own Platinum Fireworks Inc. in a grand finale like no other.
