I
finally had the chance to witness The 5th Philippine International
Pyromusical Competition held at the seaside of the Mall of Asia in Pasay. This
Pyro Musical Competition is an annual event composed of different countries around
the world competing for the best pyro display and techniques harmonized to the
beat of music. Sadly this is my first
time yet it’s their fifth year already celebrating the sky wars at the Manila
Bay skylines.
Last
March 15 is the rivalry between Oy Pyroman Finland Ltd of Finland and Royal
Pyrotechnie of Canada. Unfortunately I thought Gold ticket has the best view
but all I have is the people with bigger heads in front. Nevertheless despite
the poor shots I enjoyed the show. The music and colorful fireworks display started to
paint the Manila Bay sky.
Finland
started with Ellie Goulding’s Burn, followed by Girl on Fire, Criminal by
Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball and We Can’t Stop. Pyrotechnicians captured the
heart and the beat of modern R&B music. Everyone was actually participating
since most of the songs played were popular while watching the dazzling display
of lights.
After
couple of minutes break, Canada trailed to light up the skies. And this country
cap-off the night. They captured the heart of the people. The musicality was excellent;
there was a narrator who chattered about the elements of the earth. The pyro displays
were like in slow motion whipping our hearts. Canada breaks the silence, and snapped
the magic.
Here are my poor shots of the showdown between Finland and Canada.
Indeed
as of this writing Canada won the Championship. Philippines is not actually
part of the competition as they we're the host for this event. But we joined the
said pyro display as for opening and closing exhibition only. May pinatunayan na naman
tayo kaya hindi na kailangan. Remember last year when we grabbed the crown in
Germany?
