Last year i have witnessed the 1st World Pyro Olympics that has been held in Esplanade, in the Bay City Central Business Park, Pasay City, Philippines.

It was amazing! The show are truly great! and Australia being the 1st World Pyro Olympics Champion.

This year i have learned from anton of our awesome planet that there would be a 2nd World Pyro Olympics which will be held at Esplanade again (near MOA). You can buy tickets which costs from 100 pesos (General Viewing Area), 500 pesos (Special Viewing Area), and 1,250 pesos (Prime Viewing Area). The Special Viewing Area and the Prime Viewing Area are new additions this year, to ensure guaranteed seating and a more relaxed experience.

Im pretty excited about it.... :)
