Last September, I went to Bulacan to witness this year’s Pasiklaban National Fireworks Competition. It was held on September 14, 2009, in Bulacan Sports Complex, Malolos, Bulacan. At the same time I was part of Don Miguel Inc.’s team. I designed the last 2 segments of the show. Don Miguel Enterprises is very thankful for Dragon Fireworks’ help in the show. The competition this year has really improved a lot compared to last year. There were more varieties in effects and the coordination of the shows were a lot better. Here is the results for this year’s competition:

Champion – St. Micahel’s Fireworks
2nd Place – E & B Fireworks
3rd place – Don Miguel Incorporation

The World Pyro Olympics is moving to a new location which means that this year it will have new rules, new shows, new effects and new participants

This year, the World Pyro Olympics is packing up and moving to Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. The competition for this year is already looking promising because, this year it will be a pyromusical competition. Each of the 10 shows that will be presented are going to be synchronized to music and is now worthy to be called a Pyromusical. As promising as the competitions is, the list of participants this year can only tell us that the World Pyro Olympics 2009 will only bring up the competition to a much higher level. This year’s schedule is as follows:

14 November – Korea and USA
21 November – Germany and China
28 November – Japan and Australia
05 December – Canada and Italy
12 December – Highlights from the participants — La Mancha Group International (closing display)

We should watch how Parente will try to defend their title as The Champions and at the same time we must watch out how the other participants try to get the most coveted World Pyro Olympics trophy. I’m sure that the shows this year will be much complex than the show’s we’ve seen in the past. Since they moved the competition in The fort we must expect a wider firing pad and ofcourse more one shots (I Wish). More Updates are coming soon This event will be held from November 14 to December 12 2009, Every Saturdays

Next year the Philippines will be joining another big fireworks competition. This time it’s Dragon Fireworks’ turn to show its prowess when it comes to pyromusicals! They will be joining the Da Nang Fireworks Competition in Vietnam. This event is set on the 27th and 28th of March 2009. Here are the participating countries and firms. Each show will last for about 20 minutes and must within the them “Echoes in Han River”.

Australia – Howards and Sons
China – Dancing Fireworks
Philippines – Dragon Fireworks
Spain – Zamorano Caballer
Vietnam – (Military Service Fireworks)

This one’s a great opportunity for Dragon to show their skills

On January 16, 2009, Friday, at 6:00 p.m.; The grade 10 class of Brent International School Baguio will be presenting a collection of clothings made using recycled materials such as empty Juice sachets, cigarette boxes, plastic bags, tarpaulins, etc. By this show, we would like to show that our class cares about our environment. We’ll be showing this by making clothes out of disregarded materials. The clothes are made by 14-17 years old students. This will be the first of its kind event in Brent I.S. Baguio. Everyone is invited to come and join us in this Grade 10 fund raising event. This event will be a SACRIFICIAL DINNER, and there will be a 20 minutes variety show before the fashion show starts. We will feature about 19 dresses made of different materials and each dress will have its own theme.

Tickets = Php 500.00
