It was already Feb 19 when we decided to go to this event and bought our tickets Friday.  Good thing Metrodeal still has it up on their site.  Bought the Gold ticket for PhP179 instead of PhP300.  The first time I went here, I got the VIP tickets but since there are some obstructions when taking pictures, I tried a different area this time.  We went to the Gold seaside area which proves to be a better place if you want to take good pictures.  Feb 21 date showcases Mexico and The Netherlands (pictures below).

Parking? We got to Mall of Asia around 3:30PM and we're still able to park at the North Side parking.

Food and drinks? Food and beverage stalls are available inside the area.

Portalets? You don't have to worry about this either as there are available portalets in the area.  The one nearest us (where we positioned ourselves) have 1 portalet for male and 2 for females.

Mexico.  Fireworks started around 8PM, lasted for about 20 minutes.

 

The Netherlands. Started around 9PM, lasted for almost 30 minutes.

The last day of 2013's pyromusical competition is my first time to watch it.  I saw a deal at Ensogo and bought a VIP ticket (without dinner) for PhP299 instead of PhP500.

 We were there early so we took the chance to watch the sunset at Manila Bay.

For the competition, it would only be Canada who would be performing.  It started around 8:00PM.  I wasn't able to take some pictures as I'm still adjusting my camera every now and then.  I'm not used to taking pictures of fireworks but this is a good practice.
 

A few minutes after the Canada's presentation, around 8:30PM, most of the lights were turned off.  This is SM's way of joining Earth Hour.

It was around 9:00 PM when the token of appreciation was given to the judges.  Oh, Randy Santiago was one of them.
 

Then the announcement of winners came afterwards.  Canada won first runner-up.  At least, we saw the presentation of one of the winners.
 

Canada took home the 1st runner-up trophy

 Now, it's time for the Philippines' exhibition.

 

I hope to be able to do this again next year.  I'll make sure by that time, I won't have a lamp post blocking my camera view. :)
