Two teams each week will showcase their creativity and skills fireworks on a synchronized musical scores. I was with my friends when we attended the event on the last night. We were there before 17:00 for us to be able to get a great spot. It was the last night and expect it's crowded.

Italy displayed their spectacular fireworks display. Other participating countries who performed earlier were South Korea and Malta, United Kingdom and Spain, Finland and Portugal, China and Netherlands, Australia and Canada.




















The Philippines, as always a crowd favorite, though not an official competitor impressed thousand of viewers. There was technical problem happened during the presentation but it was continued after few minutes. What I did not forget, was the moment when most of the people were silent and song of the late Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" was played while the presentation was going on. I really had my goose bumps at that moment.









Eventually, winners were announced after the presentation of the Philippines. First place: Canada. Second Place: Australia and Finland. Third Place: Netherlands. It was a spectacular show indeed!
