Whenever grand celebrations hit our calendars, fireworks never lose track in topping the lists of what people expect to see. It is because coloring the sky requires potent skill and it is also a unique kind of entertainment.

Captivating colors blasted out in the dark, silent sky of Cebu. Expressions like "Ohhs" and "Aaahhsss" were voiced-out by the spectators during the event as big explosions, in-tune with music, dramatically painted light in the dark. The event was closed with a fireworks demonstration conducted by Pyroworks International that astounded the crowd.
