The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is an annual event that occurs between January and February at the Omni Aviation Complex in Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles City, Pampanga. It features multicolored hot air balloons with more than a hundred balloon pilots from around the world. This three to four day hot air balloon event is the biggest aviation sports event in the Philippines.
The Philippine flag is unfurled by an unidentified parachutist to mark the opening of the four-day 18th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival.

An estimated 60,000 visitors locally and from around the world come in to see this event.
But among the balloons in the festival, this was the best for me. 😀
