On February 22, France’s Luxfactory Fireworks and China’s Polaris Fireworks Co. Ltd. are set to unveil the pyro techniques they have in store. Following suit for the show’s third weekend, February 22, will be USA’s Rozzi Fireworks and Germany’s Steffes-Ollig Feuerwerke. South Korea’s Faseecom and United Kingdom’s Pyrotex Fireworx are set to dazzle the night of March 8. To cap off the month-long celebration on March 15, Canada’s Royal Pyrotechnie’s illuminative display is worth looking forward to. But, of course, the country’s pride Platinum Fireworks Inc., will do the honors as part of the event’s closing exhibition.

With PIPC’s annual pyrotechnic displays, Filipino fans and audiences now have the perfect reason to enjoy fireworks lighting up the sky even long after the New Year celebrations are over. Spend your Saturday nights watching the “biggest and brightest show on Earth,” running until March 15.

This event was made possibly by SM.
