"The Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is the longest-running sports aviation event in Asia. Also known as “A Weekend of Everything That Flies,” it is attended by hundreds of thousands of Filipinos and international travelers daily during the 4-day event located in the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport grounds in Clarkfield, Pampanga.

The amazing aerobatic shows, fly-bys, colorful hot air balloons, and the thousands of people partaking in the festivities will produce an amazing backdrop for journalists, hobbyists, and professional photographers.

More than just a spectator event, PIHABF is a gathering of aviators from the Philippines and the world.

What began as a passion project has now evolved into the longest-running sports aviation event in Asia. The fiesta’s longtime objective is to instill discipline in participating young pilots so they can develop into safe aviators, as well as to impart a spirit volunteerism and cooperation to the whole community.

The fiesta is an opportunity to share and exchange cultures and traditions with visiting pilots from all over the world. They are given a taste of Filipino hospitality and the fiesta spirit. We hope that their beautiful experience becomes the best advertising for Philippine tourism. We also encourage the visiting pilots to be contributors to chosen beneficiaries of the foundation.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Below is an article that talks about the first solo exhibition of Roberto S. Bonifacio at the Renaissance Art Gallery located at the 4th floor of SM Megamall. Written by Cid Reyes, the article shares the many artworks created by the young artist who is only 21 years young.

This momentous event is very memorable for the young prolific artist since it's practically his formal start to make a significant presence to the art community. It is very admirable that there are quite a number of artists that continue to inspire and impress art enthusiasts through their exhibitions and art fairs. We all appreciate such creativity and would love to make their works a part of our homes, offices and communities as decorative pieces full of meaning.
