CLARK FREEPORT-- Metro Clark's skyline was once again lighted with colorful fireworks as SM City Clark began hosting the three Saturday fireworks display in this year's 4th PyroFest Competition.

The much awaited event features competing delegates from different provinces in the country, exhibition from three countries, and performances by the Philippines’ top bands. The event started last November 14 and will continue on two more Saturdays on November 21 and 28.

This year's competition is between Bulacan, Laguna, Batangas, Cebu, Oroquieta, Bukidnon, Bacolod, General Santos and Tacloban.

These will be followed by international pyro musical presentations on each Saturday starting off with South Korea, Japan and China. This year's international presentation has been dubbed as Asian Mystique due to a line-up of three major Asian countries with strong fireworks traditions.

The event also features giant Asian icons like elephants and Buddhas complete with a Chinese street hawking experience to complete their Asian Mystique theme. The first Saturday night presented a K-pop feel as the Korean pyro exhibitor kicked-off the first night with the special performances of Dasuri Choi and local DJs.

SM City Clark Public Relations Manager Venus Manalang said the PyroFest has become anticipated event here that has attracted fireworks enthusiasts and tourists. She said that the event has become part of the official kick-off event for the Yuletide season.
