ANGELES CITY - This city celebrated the 23rd anniversary of the Tigtigan Terakan Keng Dalan (TTKD) with records sale and attendance reaching an estimated total of 75,000 to 80,000 joining the festivities.

TTKD is an annual event in this premier city in Central Luzon, Philippines. It is a major tourism event of Angeles in celebration of the never-say-die spirit and resilience of the people after the devastation that resulted with the catastrophic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.

The event was conceptualized during the incumbency of Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan in the mid-1990s. Pamintuan, who was again reelected in 2010 and 2013, successfully revived the staging of the TTKD in 2010.

The TTKD is now considered as the biggest evening street party in the entire Philippines.
